Performance Shocks for 05 T-Bird?

[tconverse67]

Does anyone know of availability of performance front and rear struts/shocks for the new Thunderbird. The factory shocks are slushy.

LEDA LS Shocks/Struts for T-Bird

http://www.lskoncepts.com/store/leda-shocks-p-83.php
Hello,
I am told the Lincoln LS and T-Bird use the same shock. Apparently there is a Lincoln LS forum and there is a guy with them installed.
I am going to Email him to get details.

Terry:
Not sure if you or any other member here is still interested but there's a guy in FL that just used the LS parts. Here's what he says:

"I changed out the struts on my Bird. Actually, I put in the Lincoln LS Sport strut with Eibach springs. Nevertheless, if you had a fully assembled (with spring) struts in hand. I'd rate the job difficulty at a 6 out of 10. That assumes you have average mechanical skills. An oil change would be a "one". You actually have many options. You can buy an assembled strut. You can buy the strut and spring separately and have a suspension shop install the spring (note: you'll have to use some parts off the old strut). You can can install the spring yourself. Difficulty goes way up with this option, but not impossible. I'd do it again. Outside of the issue of changing the spring, replacing the strut assembly itself has different challenges in the front and the back."

I hope this helps inyour decision.
