Not sure about the struts. But, the reason the Fox shocks are better for a lowered car is that the stockers (being shorter) have very little travel, therefor shortening the life. With the longer shocks (Fox body), there is more travel allowing the shocks to work as designed and also allowing better weight transfer for launches.

Are you serious? I have talked to a lot of people and never heard that....
Wait, that might be the struts.....are the struts shorter?

I put Monroe Sensatrac fox body shocks on with my Eibach pro kit. With that combination, I get crazy good traction. I can barely spin my tires at all anymore. It just grips right at the start and I take off like a rocket.
