11" turbocoupe front brake upgrade Reply #5 – February 07, 2009, 09:43:09 PM I think aftermarket struts (stock replacement type, like Munro, etc) are the wide ones and include spacers anyway. If your '90 Mustang struts were off a 5.0 car they should be the right width unless they're aftermarket, in which case they'll have the wider "mouth" and need spacers. They might be too short though (not sure on this)... Quote Selected
