Default 1967 mustang suppension

What all is typicaly replaced with the suppension of the car? The leaf springs look good and so do the front springs. I am going to replace the front shocks because they were wore out and is there any thing else I should replace?

well it kinds of depends on your budget and and plans for the car
if its just to get it back to specs then shocks, bushings and springs
are a great start if you have bigger plans then things get a little tougher-- here is a nice read about some upgrades

Here's another good site DazeCars, Suspension 101 that gives a good explaination of the suspension and parts, you really need to inspect them to see what's worn out. This site also gives a lot of good tips of what improvements to make while you've got it out (Shelby/Arning 1" drop at a min., <$30 and your time greatly improves the handling/steering).
