.. be carefull of buying in headlights.. you need to look at the right hand drive headlights.. not US headlamps, check the dip angle.. if yours are tarnished/foggy.... clean them down with super fine wet & dry.. and polish them up.. The brake parts are available locally from DBA (Disc brake Australia) or cheaply enough from www.usafordsp.com .. the Shocks the same or from Kmac or Heasman Suspension in Sydney.
Supercheap will also get the shocks in if needed but you need to find somebody with a brain their..... price is ok.. Remember the car is partly European too.. the costs of USA freight is not cheap anymore, for lightweight stuff its ok. Most ebay cheap stuff is just that.. but no guarentee either past the feedback.. if you recieve it. Rock Auto is an exception.. good if in stock (they may ship from 3-4 places so it may not get to you at one time.. check.. & "if the parts are right", as stated but if not - especially heavy stuff like brake parts - check their return policy too. The shocks.. Bilsteens are GREAT but expenive.. also grab a copy of Parts Peddler or Parts Locator.. both have many Cougar parts sources, www.allford.com.au in Braeside helped out a while back too.. seemed ok on price.
