I installed the QA-1 coil overs on my car several years ago and I have the Mustang 11 front suspension with the Ford 8.8 rear end. The only thing that I had was a friend of mine that owns a sheet metal business had me bring it in on a Saturday when they were closed and he cut and lowered the front shock mounts so the springs and shocks fit like they chould. The rear was easy. Just cut out the old weight jack screws, jacked the car up and removed the old springs and shocks and installed the coil overs. And yes, I used the same mounts as the old shocks had in the rear and it has been that way now for about 5 years with some hard driving and all I have done is adjust the rebound occasionally as I got the 12 way adjustable ones. Once I got the ride height set like I wanted it I took the car to have the front end alignment checked and it was so close they told me they wouldn't touch it. Just make sure that your front shocks are long enough for the top mounting, as I have seen some people put extensions on their shocks and I didn't like that idea.
