shocks & struts for 96 GT Convertible - cost?

If I was doing it I'd go with the Bullitt setup, oh wait I did. That gives you four struts, springs, and matched sway bars for less than $450 delivered (mine was $416 from Summit). The rear can be done with simple hand tools and a floor jack. The front is a little more work, and an impact wrench will make things a lot easier. Even if you did the back yourself and had the paid for the front to be changed it shouldn't be to bad. It will lower the car about 3/4" and the handling is greatly improved without giving up ride quality. This is the way they should have came from the factory.

Do you have any idea what summits' part number is for the Bullitt suspension package, or is it a Ford number? I just tried to find it on the Summit website and couldn't, thanks.

You'll need to get it from Ford. Call Randy Stinchcomb at Liberty Ford (MD) 410-655-2000 parts ext 404 He's a great guy and knows his stuff. He should be able to hook you up with decent pricing too.

Thanks for the help Keith.

Ford racing part number M5400a. Any Ford Racing dealer should be able to get it. If you want to use Summit jusxt put that number into the manufactures part number search.

I bought some "take off" 2003 GT shocks and struts for $70 on eBay. These are never before used as it was off of a new car that was getting upgraded parts before the owner was taking it. I think that I paid $35 to have them shipped so about $105 for new 2003 shocks & struts seems like a pretty good deal for Ford OEM parts.
