I know this has been beaten to death like a pinata full of crack cocaine but I am wondering if people are still using their shocks and struts that are specific to our cars when converting to sn95 springs?
The car is an 88 XR-7
I am looking at getting some used sn95 springs to lower my car a little. I still have good struts in the front and free new Gabriel replacement shocks in the back. The quad shocks were replaced 20k miles ago.
What I was reading from past posts was the stock shocks and struts bottoming out when using ANY Mustang springs. Am I understanding this correct?
I guess I am a little confused and undecided on what to do. I thought about getting Moog replacements specific to my car but I would like it lowered a little and still ride nice without too much alterations. The objective is I am rebuilding the entire front end (besides the K member and steering rack), going with 11" spindles and rotors and want it to be done right the first time.
Thank you!

I'm using my stock struts with the SN-95 springs. Same with the shocks (I use air shocks), and have had no issues at all.
No issues with mine, either. I've '97 GT springs, Tbird struts, and Fox shocks in the rear with Chuck W's adapter (otherwise, use rear shocks for a Tbird, Fox Stang shocks are a bit shorter, hence using Chuck's adaptor.)
Thank you, that's what I needed to hear!
