I found a good deal on some shocks/struts for my stang. Its a 94GT and I have eibach pro springs. Ive been told to get 79-93 shocks for my mustang but these ones I found a great deal on are for 94+. Whats the diffrence, why do ppl say to get the fox ones?

Will these make my car sit slightly higher or slightly lower? What about the foxbody shocks/struts?

Thanks!

The shocks & struts do not affect ride height. The shocks are the same for 79-04 (excluding IRS of course). The struts for stock ride height 94+ Mustangs are longer than for 79-93. If you use 94+ struts with a lowered 94+ Mustang, you will have less travel in the strut before it bottoms out.

So would 01-03 GT shocks, springs, and struts work on a 94 GT Vert? Mine are kind of tired.
