I have a set of suspension technique/dugan racing springs I bought years ago for my fox but never installed them. Will these work on my 03 GT? What about a set of Tokico shocks and struts for a fox....will these fit? I doubt the shocks and struts will but the springs should right?

People with later mustangs use the fox-body shocks/struts if they are lowering their car at the same time with springs. I believe these people were lowering their cars more than 1.5 inches though.

The car will sit lower on the fox springs, especially in the front. Also, Fox struts are 1" shorter. This works out well when lowering actaully.

I have fox struts on my SN95... and SN95 struts/springs on my fox.

True on certain springs. Some springs and 79-04 V8 car. Other springs are 94-04 V8 car.

So to the thread starter, I would use the springs. I would ebay the struts, and by Fox body the right struts. I would use the rear shocks. I have had fox body shocks and 94-04 shocks right next to each other, and they are the same length and compress the same amount.
