Dimensionally -- the control arms themselves are the same.  Apparently the recessed height for where the spring sits is slightly different.  The ball joints for the SN-95 Mustangs are different as well.  You can switch them out if need be depending on the rest of your setup...

A thread on that is here:  http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?t=15335&highlight=ball+joint

Hope this helps ;)

Thanks that would be great.  Im picking up another xr7 this week and it needs bushings in the front.  I have  complete 94 sn95 setup brakes control arms and all and figured why not..Have tons of 5 lug rims lying around...
Or I will throw on a set of snowflakes (yes I like them) and redo all the rebushing..

Ill post some pictures of the new ride after I get it.I havent had a stock cougar in years Im excited!

Thanks!

Damon

Not enough to worry about.  It's about a half inch difference.

Maybe 1/2". I have SN-95 control arms on my T-bird and it really doesn't look that much lower at all.

Fox Mustang 11 inch spindles for me with 11 inch brakes and 73mm calipers.  I'm actually still using stock Cougar A-arms.

If you use sn95 arms and fox spindles, you must swap to fox ball joints.
