Lemme see if I got this right.
When I upgrade my front brakes to 87+, 11".
My strut choices:
87+ mustang, till what year?
? 87-88 turbocoupe
? would sn95 stuff be a better choice?
87 to 93 same.
when i put the bigger brakes on mine .i reuse the struts that where on it because they where less than year old.
all you have to do is put a shims where the spndle and strut bolt together. thats how edelbrock got there struts to fit both 5.0 and non 5.0.
mine, i just cut off the lower mounts off some old struts( that i had in the trash) and use them for shims. been working 10 yrs.
94-2003 years;
are the same style strut just longer travel so ford could have the 4X4 looks on those years.
doing some searching.... looks like the SN95 stuff works fine.
They have a more diverse choice too.
Anyone ever run bilsteins on stock springs? Wondering about ride quality.
The shocks are a little bit short. There is a chart that was posted about all the strut choices for mustangs. With an adapter sold by Chuckw you can get any of them to work.
I thought the " shorter" problem was with the 87-93 mustang stuff, and the SN95 stuff was OK?
Anybody?
sn-95 stuff is still off. Its closer, but still off. If your droping the car a couple of inches it might work.
Rear shocks, I could just buy cougar stuff,
What about the fronts, I dont want to buy new mounts.
Will the sn95 struts fit fine on the front, with no modifications to the car?

Looks like ill just use the fox mustang struts
Good information there, I about through out the old '89 mustang struts when I went to 90/10's on it. Good to know I can reuse them on the bird and not waste a good set of struts.
