no... i got my quote in a couple days. :) the price was ~$150 Front and ~$150 for the rear.

Other than that you could get a set of stock SN-95 Mustang Springs. Prolly want to get some for a V6 in the front. I believe coolcats.net has some info on the subject. I haven't had a v6 Bird/Cougar so I don't remember what springs you really need.

Ummm  you will not get any drop with sn 95 springs in the front.  I had to cut mine.  Mine were GT springs but from what I've seen every newer v6 mustang out there has like 4 inches of space above the tire in the front.    You would have to cut the fronts, and yea its a tad bouncy.
