Please double check the part number on the rear shocks (or off the box) and call me. I'm wondering if the correct rear shocks were sent from the warehouse. F-body shocks have an integrated stud. Mustang rears have only one of the 8 numbers different, and do not have a stud at all.
Please let me know the part number on the shocks you have. I will take care of it if the incorrect parts were sent.

Looking at the pictures, I now see that the rear shocks are Mustang parts. I double checked my Purchase Order and I had the correct number on it, but it seems you were sent the wrong number.
Please call me.

wow, your car was high stock, and looks slammed now. Did you keep the rear isolators?
I want something in my middle, my car with stock 11 year old 98 ws6 parts, the car sits at 27" off the ground to the fender all around, with stock size 275/40/17" tires and I like the stance. I would like to stay around that point, and mixed reviews of the height of the strano parts some claiming 26.75 all the way to 26"

Consider that the cars vary a lot stock. Some cars as high as 29" to the fender in the rear vs. your @ 27". It's only to be expected that there will be variances in height in cars that are lowered if they are 2" different stock.....
Quite frankly if you can't get a sense of overall height via the zillions of pics that abound on this site, and have to have 100% exactly height X, then you should run something that allows adjustment to height, like a set of KW coil-overs--which are the only good choice for both height adjustment and quality adjustable dampers that doesn't require modification (Koni's have to be modified to run Ground Control or Global West front coil-overs). You can run Strange or QA1's but they aren't control dampers. LG coil-overs use non-adjustable Bilstein's are in the KW range anyway.

Teching In
For those that did the install, are there any tips or helpful pieces of advice that you might want to share? Or problems that may have came along the way?
Btw, your T/A looks clean racecarr.
