Should be the 94-95 Mustang for the front, but different ball joints. Rears are Bird specific.

94-04 FRONTS are dimensionally a swap for the 87-88 TBird ones. You will need to swap ball joints to the Fox ones, if you're staying with the Fox brakes.

Rear arms are specific to the TBird/Cougars, 80-88.

Highly unlikely that they are making any parts for the Fox TBirds. It was only due to my persistence while I was there, that they were even sold in the first place.

There was a modified version of their bolt-in "Street Cage" for the notchback Foxes that I had mocked up in one of the old cars. I sold it years ago to someone. It wasn't a perfect fit, but I had to keep it simple to keep costs down. All I really changed were the rear bars. I don't think any ever sold, but there might've been one.
The cage in my silver car is one I custom built that started as a bolt-in deal originally, but when I finally did body/paint on the car, I welded things up and modded the rear half of it.
