I have read in other posts that if our sn95's are lowered we can use the older fox body rear shocks because they are shorter and less expensive than the sn95s. Is this true? Anyone tried it?

I put fox shocks on mine for the same reason. I heard they were 1" shorter on the inside or something, making for more effective sock travel on a lowered car. The body itself, however, is the same length. This is the stock chock against the Fox Tokico's I put on:


I thought I read the front struts are where you see a larger difference in length. I plan on swaping those for Fox Tokico's in the spring time too.
If you're car's lowered, I'd say do it. You won't really feal a big difference between the two, but the fox ones are cheaper.
