This is a general setup question for anybody or Kelly Aiken if possible.

I have a '16 performance pack GT. I am setting up the suspension first, drivetrain second, fuel system third, then the twins will go on.

My setup purchased so far:
SP089R Front Springs
SP088R Rear Springs
BK051 Poly Diff. Bushing
RH017 Diff. Hardware upgrade kit
CB005 Cradle Bushing
TCA045 Vertical Links
UTCA Camber Links
CJR002H Low Profile Jacking Rails


What I think I need:
BK055 LCA Bearings
TR005 Toe Rod ends
Viking Crusader Rear Shocks

My Questions:
1) Do I need the FRPP Toe Bearings if my car is a performance pack car?
2) I am unclear on all of the bearing/bushing kits out there.....is what I have a good setup for eventually running high 8's, low 9's or do I need some other bushing/bearing kit?
3) I see a lot about hardware or bolt upgrades, do I have everything listed that I need?

I have a '98 mustang also that I have had for 20 years, and I have done and redone and redone more things on that car so many times and wasted money.......I don't plan on doing that with this car!



Thanks,
Derrick

1) no S550 has the toe knuckle bearing, so yes I'd recommend it
2) and 3) it looks like you have everything

Ok. Got the toe bearing kit added to my cart.

I see so many options for Viking crusader rear shocks. What’s the difference between the B358 and B388 and B3010?

That's a better Kelly question. @BMR Tech

Hey sir!

Seems as if your questions are answered.

As for the Viking shocks, I only recommend TWO versions for street/strip type combos, regardless of the combination.

The B358AM is the tried and true, and what most people use. The B3010 is simply a different style that has an integrated upper shock mount (T-Bar) - see image below.

You can get either one, and they will perform the same. You don't really need the B3010 as long as you re-use your bump stops on the B358AM.
