Hey everyone, I recently purchased a set of H&R SuperSport springs from a member of my club for my 95 GT. He had them on his 2000 V6 as well as Tokico Shocks and struts (blue). His shocks blew, but he just thew in the struts in free but said to double check with the installer to make sure they're good. They where free, so its not like im losin out, lol. I do not plan on using the Tokico struts in my stang(thinkin Bilstein), so im just giving them to a good friend of mine who has a 96 V6.

First, would they fit his 96? And second, how do I tell if their good? They dont leak any liquid, so the seal seems ok. Anything else? Only a little over a year on the struts.

I got the springs for a really good price so i jumped on them before i checked. So will springs from a 00V6 even fit my 95 GT, hahaha.

Thanks guys!

I don't know if the shocks are a good idea, because the engine weight difference between the GT and the 6. but I would think that the struts would work but not 100% sure?? Maybe someone else might know?
