What do you think is the best spring and shock combination for a fox body? I'm not looking to really road race the car, but want something that will handle turns extremely well, and still be smooth around town. Right now i have the eibach sportlines and KYB shocks. I know the KYB's need to go, but do you think i can get away with leaving the sportlines in and getting just new shocks?

Also, where can I find the best prices?

I'd be real interested if it fit. Does anyone here know for sure if they'll fit on an 88 GT though? I have a feeling it won't fit

I Don't know if 94 up struts and shocks fit on a fox body. But 98cobraguy is right, about the koni's. I have Koni struts, shocks and quads on my 89lx with I think ford c springs. The Koni's kick major ass, but they cost a lot. For best price suspension, if you want hug corners and not spend a lot, then just get springs, CC plates, tubular subframes, strut tower brace, cross brace and a 6 point cage. With the right tires you will feel like you are on rails. Then eventually get a panhard and torque arm [Smile]

The struts will work..just ensure the seals are still good if they've been sitting a while..

I've got a 93 GT w/ FRPP "B" springs, all new urathane bushings front and rear, Gabriel shocks/struts (the black's), strut tower brace, CC plates, and tubular sub's. Car rides on 17x8 Cobras (97's) with Goodyear F1's all around (245/45's and 275/40's). Car handles great, corners excellent, and doesn't beat me to death driving it (my daily driver!). [burnout]

Anyone here run Eibach and Koni's together?

Besides Koni's what else do you reccomend?
