I am running the fox body Strange Shocks/Struts on my stock ride height 04 GT. They are recommended for lowered cars because they have a shorter height in the compressed position than the new edge shocks. Even tho they are shorter I was still able to fit them in without compressing any of the suspension on my stock suspension.

The adjustability part of them is definately nice. The ***** are plastic and a little on the cheap side if you ask me...but they are a replaceable part if they do break...and I'm sure its part of what makes them more affordable. I am getting a noise out of my rears that I still can not figure out. I sent them back to Strange and the tested them and said everything was fine...but I am still getting the noise. And yes everything is tight, so its either internal in the shock...or the shock is hitting somethign that I cant see....
