lol, that's funny. I don't know much about suspension and i've been looking at that exact kit for my '85. It's the best i've found for the money (i've just been looking). I created a thread about this same kit, and people said it was a good one. Good luck, if you get it tell me how it is.

I'm getting Maximum Motorsports upper and lower control arms and MM subframes soon (they are being shipped at the moment). I plan on getting the Eibach Pro Kit plus which includes lowering springs, shocks, struts, and front & rear sway bars.

I'm not sure how suspension parts have changed between 91 and 94, but I would definitely go with Eibach and/or Maximum Motorsports.

Not sure how well it works on a fox body, but it is awesome on my sn95. I upgraded a little bit thought by going to the KYB AGX adjustables, and added a few extras like MM caster camber plates, panhard bar, and kmember brace. I do a little bit of road racing, mostly auto X and love driving through the canyons. The first thing I would do though is frame connectors. It does make a noticible difference with less flex. My car seems to launch pretty flat, but I am not too much of a 1/4 mile guy.
