Hey guys, its almost that time for the mustang to hit the road again. I definitely need some new shocks and struts. I heard a few people tell me that since i have the eibach pro kit on my 97 that i should buy foxbody shocks and struts since they are shorter than the sn95 ones. Anyone want to fill me in on this?

It provides better travel since they're shorter, and they are usually cheaper

I have the older model struts because my car is pretty low. Back when I bought mine I followed Maximum Motorsports recommendations. That was ages ago tho.

It is recommended that if a car is lowered more than 1.25 inches than to get the fox body struts. I have read that if you have caster camber plates that they have bushings which will allow you to use the proper strut for your car by raising the mounting point of the top of the strut. I bought steeda cc plates and they came with a few different height sized bushings and I'm thinking this is what it's for.
