I think the Fox Body rears are compatable but I'm not 100% sure. You're probably better off just getting another SN-95 rear to avoid any fitment issues.

Sorry, not sure on the mark VII rear end.

However, you could certainly use a fox rear end. Just swap the brakes, ABS sensors and axles. The 94-98 rear end is wider, but this is due to the axle length. The housing is identical between the fox and the 94-98 rear end. So that means, you can just swap the brakes/axles and the fox housing will work fine.
