To clarify, the SN95 struts are about 1" longer in their compressed height. Other than that there is not much physical difference. If your car is stock height or mildly lowered the SN95 struts are what you want to go with. If your car has more than a mild drop say 2"+ then go with the Fox struts.

The rear shocks are different in the fact that the SN95 units have internal bump stops and the Fox units do not. This is why they are typically used with coil overs.

This is great info didnt know the SN95s had internal bumpstops. My Bird isnt slammed but its around 1 1/2 maybe 3/4 drop.

That is sick
Once you get the front end down, it'll look REALLY good

They never were.

I'm undecided on doing more. I hate welding them up, and I hate sitting on them for over a year after I weld them up.

IF I do any more, it'll be in a group buy format.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
