    Hey guys:
    Need some advice on buying struts.
    The problem I am having is whenever I go over a speed bump or through a rut my front end squeaks.
    I have a 94 gt with FRPP C SPRINGS and I plan on upgrading my lower A arms FMS-M-3075-D.
    The car has about 1.25 drop, so which would be the best strut for my application?
    Also I think I read some where that I you use a 87-93 strut it will work on a 94 which has been lowered 1 inch any truth to this?

    Just get some adjustables for a 94 and call it a day, not an expensive piece.

    the adjustables give u more control on how you car is set up, you set it where you want it.

    Blistines are allways a good choice. I like the adjustable idea though Im likin my Tockico Illuminas so far.
