it is very lowered lol, too low. im hoping that these will bring my ride back to something somewhat comfortable. i cut 1 1/2 coils from my stock springs and the ride is absolutely harsh, terrible, horrible, (insert any bad word)!!!!

they will work great on a lowered car. I had them on my 01 they will bolt right up with no problems.

they will work fine, i have fox struts on my stang but i have HP. I have eibach pro's too. imo you should get new springs, cutting stock springs gives a horrible ride. you just have to transfer the bump stops on the stock front to the new one or buy new bump stops.

someone on another forum said that i will need some big washers during the install because the fox struts/shocks are wider at the connection... anyone run into this?

Don't worry about anything they just bolt right up. I have those same exact shocks/struts and they are great for the price. If u still have the stock shocks/struts you will love the GR2's.
