hdbiker1 said:I have an '01 GT with B&G springs, lowered about 1.5-1.75" and looking for struts and shocks. Since it's lowered, will 94-04 work or should I look at the 87-93. What does everyone else do? Thanks.
Sick96Stang said:I dont see why u would look at 87-93 if u own an 01 GT. What are B&G springs? Yes, 94-04 will work and I would strongly recommend buying the parts for a 99+ GT.
hognutz said:He would look for fox body because they are 1" shorter. 99-04 are designed for factory height so they run 1.75 compressed at all times with his springs. this will blow out some brands of shocks and struts prematurely.
Wikkdgt said:Ok, I have Eibach Sportlines on my 00 GT and am running Tokico non-adjustables. I've had the fronts on there for like 3 weeks and already blew out the driver side strut. Am I not running the right kind of struts? I thought those were for lowered cars? I just bought 2 new ones and am wondering if it is just going to keep happening.
Wikkdgt said:I know they are not for drag racing. I didn't buy them from a dealer but off Ebay brand new. So what would the part number be for the option for lowered ride height? I just bought 2 new fronts from someone selling them on here. I hope they are the ones for lowered cars.
Sick, thanks for the link.Sick96Stang said:Are you running the premium or drag race? Both of those should have an option when buying for either ones for stock ride height or lowered ride height.

Sick96Stang said:Are you looking for factory shocks and struts or aftermarket? If you are looking for aftermarket just make sure u buy shocks and struts that are meant for lowered cars. I got my H&R sport springs and Tokico 5 way adjustable for lowered cars and I've had no troubles.

squares98 said:it makes a difference, I have sportlines and blew the 94-04 tokico fronts in no time flat. With the 87-93 there are no issues.
squares98 said:look again it is a different front strut number
edit: you are right, thats the point, its the same part. The 94-04 regular strut is not the same as the 94-04 lowered strut(which is the fox body strut)
