I didn't get any kit.... the front struts come with spacers because the mounts on the 93GT's are wider. I bought just the Monroe Sensitrack shocks and struts and it rides better than stock IMO. It's very smooth. I would highly recommend them over say a KYB or other more expensive aftermarket set if your budget is tight. Just go to Advanced Auto and ask for 93GT shocks and struts, you can choose between the Monroe's or Gabriels. The Gabriels are cheaper. Any questions, shoot me or JonBeast a PM, we have nearly identical suspension setups.
Good I problably go with the Monroe for the Fox body. My store just mention that kit but I guess it's not needed and I have to go with my local delivery here. I do have an account for my business so I pay a bunch less then regular retail and no shipping and no tax.

Sounds good. You'll need a friend and a loooong screwdriver or an air gun for the top bolts on the shocks and especially on the struts, but other than that, it's a cakewalk.

Monroe Sensitracks and Gabriel are two different brands in case you didn't know or I did not make that clear...
