I think the only diff is the K-member. the v8 is slightly wider on the later models.

How about swapping the lower rear control arms on a fox with those on an 05 through 08 mustang with no spring bosses. I have a coil over system and dont need bosses anymore.

I swear I read on here that 4 cyl springs will lower a V8 car just a tad, and launches better??

or was that from a notch?
