I have heard that Fox body shocks are preferred on lowered New Edge cars.

Can any one confirm this, or that they will work?

If you have a drastically lowered Sn-95, you can use fox body shock/struts. They are shorter and help you regain the travel you lost by being so low.

Yes, they will work. My car is lowered with factory height shocks and struts and they bottom out and make a lot of noise. So if i were to do it all over again, i would get fox body shocks and struts.

i had fox body lakewood 50/50's on the rear of my car for several years...you will need to swap the metal sleeve that goes through the bottom bushing(the sleeve that the bolt goes through) ....you will find that yours are longer than the ones that are gonna come in the new shocks....and in order to mount them correctly they need to be swapped
