I believe the only difference is with a strut. The part of the strut that bolts to the spindle. THat area may need a spacer plate (like a washer) to make it a tight fit. Otherwise I think you are ok.

For the shocks, its all the same. I used the Lakewood 50/50's and from the part listing, those shocks fit quite a few different types of cars.
The struts are the question. When I got my Lakewood 70/30's, I had to make sure that the spacers were there. Most of the Mustang struts out there come with them, and instructions on which years need what. I forget if I needed them, but I know they came with the struts. Hope that helps.
