wbrowne,
The kit I bought did in fact come with the original style strut rods.
The main difference is they're fitted in reverse compared to the original Mustang installation.
AFAIK, they face forward in the car.
I thought as my suspension (airbags) would be be travelling over a greater range more often than a stock set up,the inner bushes would handle the rotational movement better.
Just thinkin'.....
Thanks for your input.
