i have a sn95 front conversion and am using fox struts, so i'd say so.
hell, you can use fox struts/shocks on a sn95 if its nice and low and it would be a better option than using the sn95 shocks/struts (because of the car being so low)
unless there is some special reason (like the car being really high or maybe need a alot of travel) why you need to use a sn95 70/30 over a fox 70/30, i see no reason why you cant use a fox spec one.
The SN95s will bottom out before the Fox ones.
i disagree
i have 03 cobra bilsteins on my 89 w/ SN95 brakes, and i have never bottomed out, even with the C springs.
i think we can add this one to the 5.0 myths, right alongside the quad shock myth.
I personally would leave them in place, and make sure they are in good shape. I do know this, that Ford is cheap. If they could have made changes in some simple component like bushings or control arm construction and saved $10, they would have done it. Multiply $10 times all the Fox body Mustangs ever made and you would be almost as rich as Donald Trump. That's a lot of $$$, and good incentive to engineer something to do away with the quad shocks.
So, because you have never had a problem, that makes it Dogma? Hmm, because you have never been hit by lightning, then people do not die from lightning strikes? Right? Yes, your perspective on the world defines the world!i disagree

If you go to UConn, I still have contacts from when I went to grad school and taught there. I'll make sure I talk to your professors.
Maybe you should check the specs on Fox vs sn95 struts. Do you know any of the differences?
Don't use sn95 struts on lowered cars, they will bottom out before the suspension does. It would be very very bad if your strut breaks!
SN95 FCA's are ~1.3" longer. The sn95 struts are made to be ~1+" longer (they also revise the FCA mounting point). Some strut manufactures list the specs.
Bingo.
Even tires can play into if you have hop or not. Everyone is different, so the cookie cutter "ditch the quads with LCA's" statement is obsolete these days
A lot of SN-95 guys buy Fox struts when they lower their car. Stick with the Fox struts.
