Do fox body shocks and/or struts fit on a sn95. Do fox body aftermarket control arms fit on sn95. The reason i'm asking is that i'm looking into doing suspension over the winter and it seems that a lot of people are selling fox body stuff. Anyone know?

Uppers will work but the lowers from a pre-99 will not fit the newer 99+ models. Fox-body shock are recommended for a lowered car.

So upper and lower c/a's made for a fox will fit a 94-98 gt but not 99+?I'm not really looking to lower the car i'm trying to find good deals on ebay that'll allow me to hook up better and cut some nice 0-60's.

The struts will work,too. I don't think they'll lower your car anymore. If you want the rear lower cut a half or fullcoil.

They're half an inch or so shorter than our shocks and struts. They'll have to travel less than stock ones on our cars when lowered.

I'm going to get a pair of Fox shocks and struts when I'm ready to lower my car. I need ball joints, bumpsteer kit, caster camber plates, and the shocks and struts.
