check on corral.net, modularforums.com, etc. i know there are some NEW illumina shocks on corral now for cheap. think they say they are for a fox but if the fox shocks and SN are the same then maybe ud be good on that. just check those sights out as thats what im doing. im just putting alot of my money into my foxbody now to have it running before "too" long lol

Struts will not lower your car. The sn95 struts have longer pistons and can bottom out sooner if you hit large pot holes. I USE FOX WITH 1.5" DROP AND I would definately use them with a 2" drop.

i might be getting a set of the Toxico Blues(shocks only) with only 2k miles on them for about $100

Anybody have any issues with the tociko d-spec? I can get a good deal on those locally.

 

[Win]

When you say good deal how much of a good deal? I have always wanted to try them.

About 500 even new in box. But ive heard they are a little funny to dial in... read about it on a forum here. That each strut/shock is diffrent to dial in takes a few trys to get it right,there was also a link to a sight describeing the diffrence between them,im at wrk now but ill look for it n post the link up later. I found some blist. For 600 with financing available on tire rack gonna see if I get approved

For 600, you better be looking at Konis.

picked up some Bilstein's for about 550 shipped is that good?
Now should I save some coins n just buy some camber bolts and hold off on the cc plates? still need to purchase new tires for the saleens I got last week.got a price quote there gonna run me about 900 :/

If you are going to use H&R SS's then I would recomend CC plates, I really dont think you should skimp on any other part since you are buying an otherwise nice setup. You dont necessarily need 4 bolt plates but atleast get some good quality ones.

Thanks bro I needed somebody to stop me from makin a dumb mistake. Spent a lotta coins to already to mess it up on a few more bucks.

Ive done some reading on installing the shocks n springs, is it something u think I should leave to a pro or could I instal them on my own.

 

[Win]

you can install them yourself. It's not hard
