Thanks guys, I used 2000 Gt springs in the back and cut 11/4" out of the stock front springs with isolators. Put new sway arm/link bushings in and the ride is SO much better, no bounce or scrubbing what so ever. 255/40 (9") on front and 275/40 (10") on back. Back roads are so much funner!! : )

FYI: The Mach 1 option with Titanium Frost (YZ) paint costed over $1K (1988 dollars) more standard paint colors and is the apparently rarest of all 88 paint colors (IIRC, only in June 88 cars, unofficially perhaps 50 with that color?).  I had to use 91 Mustang touch up paint (code YX) as the paint shops insisted that YZ didn't exist...  The Titanium Frost paint option, along with the Vermillion Red color, were used to preview future paint colors.  I can't find much info on the option, though. :(

My Mark VII has titanium frost (code YX) as well. Only one out of the three auto body paint shops I went to was even able to mix that color.

Daniel, was the 91 mustang YX code pretty close to the Titanium Frost color?

Yes, it was very close match, although that could depend a bit on the person or machine mixing the paint...  It was a rare option for 1990-1992 Mustang, too.  Here is the paint code showing Titanium Frost: paint reference.  That is a useful link, BTW, with Ford, Ditzler/PPG and Dupont color codes as well as sample pictures.  There are quite a few pictures of YX painted cars on "silvermustang.com", too, as well as a quick google search.

The standard 1988 silver color (9Z) was visibly different (used on a few touch-ups on the nose of your car, I believe).  I can bring a car (stock 88 TC with 9Z paint) by sometime for a comparison if you want to see a side-by-side.  It should be fun. :)
