ive always read that i should use "fox" specific struts/shocks on my lowered sn95. i have h&r ss springs that i am ready to install. i plan to leave bottom isos out in front and maybe one out in the rear..dont know yet. i hear that bilstein hd's are the way to go. this will be my daily driver. i dont mind the extra money that they cost. so, ive been on MM's website, bilsteins and other sites. i havnt gotten the same info from any 2 sites. so im confused. what shocks and struts do i need.

^^ Yep, what he said. It had everything I wanted to know and then some. It clearly helped me make a educated decision on what would work best for me with my driving style, budget and look I wanted.

What I meant is, on sites to buy these struts/shocks, no 2 sites list the same part numbers. Some say 79-04 then fox the 94-up. If u look at contents of the item one site shows h5 and h0 where another shows h5 and h1 as the contents of same part number kit. I'm just confused

Stock Fox Body spec shocks are 1" lower than our Stock SN-95 shocks

But still fit huh? So we can basically lower our car even more by going with these.. interesting to know!

ty for that
Not so much that we can go lower, but more that the shock will work better, or in it's "optimum position" when we lower our cars an inch or so. When using stock-length SN-95 shocks with lowering springs the shocks will always be compressed an inch or so.
Hope this makes sense
