Well like I said, I will have 5 sets this time around.  When I have them available for orders I will contact interested folks from this thread in order and go from there.

Ill also take a set. These will work well on the TC when its time for shocks and struts.

Im assuming these would also work with the SN95 shocks.
It's Gumby's fault.

I believe the SN95 shocks are longer than the fox mustang shocks...much closer to what we have...someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Nope, they are only marginally longer than the Fox stuff...no where near the Tbird stuff....

If that was the case...I wouldn't bother with these...

Would these brackets be suitable for coilovers?

They are going to be stronger and more secured to the axle than the stock brackets are.

How's this Jeremy?...I'd feel comfortable using these with coil-overs on my own vehicle.... :p

I thought the main problem with rear coilovers was the lack of support where the shock mounts to the body, not the axle mount...

The axle side is a weak point. If you look at MM's rear coil-over kit you will see the heavy duty shock mounts.

Well it looks like I'll have to go through the first 5 interested folks first (once I have the stuff) and then order up some more bits for more after that.
