Default shock/strut question for a lowered car.

Okay I'm working on my stangs footwork this is whats going on next month:

1. lowered 1.7 in the front and 1.5 in the back
2. Steeda bumpsteer and x2 ball joint
3. upr caster camber plates
4. urethane bushing kit
5. granatelli (sp) upper and lower control arms.

Now I was looking at the KYB AGX shocks or the Tokicos, but they both say not for use on lowered vehicles. So I am confused.Do I buy the fox body versions or is there some type of special version from these brands that I haven't seen for lowered stangs? Any help would be appreciated.

I've heard that lowered New Edges use Fox Body shocks n struts. When I went to buy mine, the guy that ran the shop asked me if I planned on lowering it (which I do...at least in the front. The rear is lower because of the Megabite JR's setting). Then he recommended the Fox body struts n shocks.

Okay sounds good, I was lost on that one. I'll look around and see what I can find for the foxes. Thanks
