SN95 vs. FOX shocks and struts
 

Will the shocks and struts for SN95s fit the FOX bodies?

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure they won't. I'm almost positive that SN-95 spindles have a difference in where you bolt the strut up. Of course, switching to SN-95 spindles in your Fox body will improve it's handling.

Yes, but the strut to spindle bolts are lower on the strut. I'm not quite sure what effect this will have.

www.stangparts.com sells 99-2000GT shock/strut take offs from saleens, and they claim they will fit a 92GT. I ordered all 4, so when I put them on (a week or two) I will let u know how it goes.

Thanks.

I have a friend that needs new shocks and struts. If the dampers I took off my 97 Cobra(<5000 miles) will fit, then it will save him a fair amount of money.

I just got off the phone with Stangparts. They said they made an error on their page and that the shocks and struts from 94-2000 are the same, but they WONT fit a 87-93. So much for $70 shocks and struts.

Bu!!**** !

I've got the 99GT struts on my car (87GT) right now.

They'll fit no problems, I got mine from Stangparts too. The front end does appear slightly higher, but I'm pretty sure that's because of weak rear springs.

I see no reason for the shocks not to.

I have them on my 85 Convert. right now. They will as long you have stock height springs. You can't use them with lowering springs. You might want to do a search on the Corral for a thread on this.
