I always use the kiss method (keep it simple stupid) and if I was in your shoes and have a fox, I would go with the 94-95. Good luck on your search and keep us posted.

There's something weird going on with the passenger side head breather tube too. Unless it just has something that my car doesn't.

Yeah, I wouldn't bother with that car though. You can find better for the same price or a little more.

stay away from it! if the springs had been cut who knows what els was jerry rigged on that car!

also i thought all 96 GT's came with strut tower braces frome the factory??? thats why there is that flat piece coming out from the firewall behind and above the throttle body... there are two bolt holes for it and then the holes are also already tapped by the strut towers... so it must have been there, where is it now???
