Lowering help needed...

[Stang95fyvo]

Hey guys, I just bought some springs...can I use Fox Struts and Shocks on my 95 GT. I bought the B springs. A buddy of mine has some KYB fox struts and shocks he no longer needs and they are brand new...can i use them? Also, will I need CC plates with the B springs?

When you lower a car you need cc plates period in order to do it the right way. Also look into a bumpsteer kit.

I always thought the sn95 shocks & struts would sit just a hair higher than a fox... or in your case fox on sn95 would sit more lower. Reason being my h&r springs fit 79-04 but had a diff drop height depending on which year. Makes sense doesn't it?

cc plates are not nessesary. my dads 95 cobra had h&r supersports and when he fractured his neck in a wreck, i installed his h&r's on my 88 gt and my gt's springs on his cobra and has les schwab align the front end. this was 3 years ago and havnt had 1 problem with uneven tire wear.

Yeah they are not nessesary but in order to do it right you need them while else would they make them.

CC plates are strongly recommended, but Just because they make 'em doesn't mean you need 'em:

Wow...you guys respond quick. I posted a question about this on the tech section and only 1 person responded.

That is really helpful. I may have the ability to get CC plates from my buddy too, so I will do that. I will post some pics when I get the car done.

CC plates are never neccessary but definitely a good idea if you want to do it right. I would say its well worth the cost for the safety and better tire wear.

It depends how much the car is lowered. I have Eibach pros (1.5" drop) on my cobra, and no CC plates. My camber is within factory specs according to my alignment shop.
