Almost everything for a mustang was designed to not fit our t-birds.I just had to change my struts and strut tower brackets over to a mustang to install my coilovers(pain in the a$$).Almost everything on my car had to be customized some how execpt the hedders headman acutally makes longtubes (very cheap $85.)for t-birds without column shifter(another problem)
