who supplies the parts thatare needed to rebuild the suspension on a 1988 turbo coupe? i need bushings ball joints and struts and shocks all the way around, and i can not find any place to get them, i also need caliper rebuild kits fro the calipers, oh and brake pads.
i swear every parts store i go to they look at me like "what's a turbo coupe?" if i can't find stuff soon i'm just gonna have to put this motor into my mustang, at least i know where to get the parts for it.

I had no problem getting brake components and kits from NAPA. Even for the '88 rear brakes.
Here's a list of stuff I put together;
Front struts, KYB, 235008 Front strut, GR2, Lincoln Mark VII, will need a spacer or washers on each side of the mounting ear. The strut tabs are a little wider than the spindle ears.
Front Control Bushings, MOOG Part # K8289 Frt Susp; Lower; Standard Design, 2 Required {Control Arm Bushing Kit}
Front ball joints, MOOG Part # K8259 Frt Susp Lower 2 Required {Ball Joint} There are cheaper available but Moog has an excellent reputation.
Or you could get the FMS front lower arms, FMS-M-3075-D which will have both bushings and ball joints.
Rear shocks and quads.
KYB, KG 5556 Rear shock, Gas-A-Just
KYB, KG 4521 axle damper, Gas-A-Just
Monroe has them too, just get the ones for the '86.
As far as front sway bar and rear control arm bushings, look into Prothane or Energy Suspension.
There are other options, a search here and on TurboFord will net you other people's choices.

I don't have them up yet. I'm WAY behind on site updates. I might actually need to hire somebody soon! Shoot me an email.

Nobody has had new PRC's since 1991.
The horizontal shocks are called "quad shocks" and yes, we have those new.
We have non-PRC shocks and struts new as well.
