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

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

so, if lowering springs are added you can use the fox struts?

You should be able to Lee.

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.
