you want to put cobra front struts on your gt??
they will fit, if its a fox gt the struts are taller, so not ideal if your cars lowered, if its an sn95 gt then they are identical

I want to put cobra front shocks that I found but they didn't come with struts. They will be on going on my 03GT. Question is will GT struts work with 03 cobra bilsteins or do I need to get 03 struts to work with the shocks?

the struts n shocks are two different things, struts up front, shocks in the back, like stated above or are you running coilovers?

This is exactly what I am looking to buy. I will be installing IRS in the rear. Just want to know if fronts will work or need any mods to fit my 03 GT

the fronts will work, I run stock 03 cobra shocks in the rear, and struts in the front, on my `97 gt, with H&R race 99-04 IRS cobra springs.
