Newb with a lowered Stang

Nice SN man, looks great.

Bbk are light blue.

And Bilsteins are the way to go, not adjustable but handle amazing. Best shock I've owned.

Tokico illumina are fantastic if your tracking your car. I'm about your age and quite over the rough ride. The tokico blues everyone is recommending will match up well with your current springs without making you lose your fillings.

I have an eibach spring and shock kit and love the spring and damper rate.

GLW your ride. She looks great!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I've heard to buy shocks and struts for a Fox for the 94-98 cars because they have a shorter travel or something to that effect??

Yes that is correct Chris 91. They're like 1" shorter, fits the same and works with the common sn95 lowering.

So i can buy Fox body Shocks and struts for my SN95 and they will work? If so i have a buddy who has a new set for sale.

Yes and apparently they are better for lowered SN's too so you're in luck.

Looking around on EBay and found these. Anybody have any experience with them?

I would never EVER dream of running these. The price alone scares me. Don't skimp on cheapass shocks/struts. It's not something you change a lot and can greatly affect ride quality.

Cheapass shocks/struts do not like being lowered.

Advice taken! Just seen some other reviews on them online and for the price I figured they would be an improvement over my worn out ones. I'm strongly leaning toward the Tokico blues.
