99-04 Struts...
Are they longer than fox struts?
Worked on Rob's 5-lug conversion this weekend and his struts will not reach his 99-04 spindles. Fox struts lack around 1" or more to reach the spindle mounting holes Last edited by QWKSNKE; 12-20-2006 at 06:59 AM. |

I think they are longer Lee, IIRC when you lower a 94 up stang, you should also switch to a shorter strut.

Yeah all the 94-04 struts are longer. I believe they are 1.5 longer. I have those on my 93 and they are almost to long since mine is lowered

Yeah should be able to. The only problem I had is where the strut mounts to the spindle. The newer spindles was more narrow there and the fox strut needs a spacer in order to bolt down correctly.
