Do they make shorter struts and shocks for the 99-04 GTs? I thought I read somewhere that people were using fox body struts and shocks on lowered 99-04 GTs. Are the fox body struts a shorter strut than the 99-04 GTs?

Yes Fox body struts are shorter and suitable for lowered SN95's

unsure if the rear shocks are shorter though

You may want to run fox fronts if you are dropped 2" or more. I'm running them - originally with H&R SS vert springs, now with Roush springs. No complaints.

If they are non-adjust I wouldn't recommend them because they'll be tuned for the wrong weight car.

Honestly though, I never hear about anyone bottoming out their shocks on here, regardless of what springs they use.
