Whats the difference between foxbody tubular A arms and 94+ tubular a arms.. I know stock foxbody, SN(94-98), and new edge(99-04) were different sizes.. but tubulars ive found show 94-04 as the same.. I have stock SN A arms on my fox for a wider n meaner stance, but wanna get tubulars with coilovers.. which one should I get, foxbody or 94-04?? I wana still hav the wider wheelbase like right now with SN A arms but I know 99-04 is too far out so I dont wanna order 94-04 n then have a Tonka Truck looking front setup.. haha

if u like ur sn 95 arms now, the sn95 tubular will be the same. theirs no difference other than one is stamped metal while the tubed are obviously tubed, a fox body stock arm is the same dimensions as tubed fox arm. the sn arm well stick out the wheel but if u like 3 or more in camber u can easily bring the top of the wheel back under the fender with your caster plates. if thats the look u want. performance handling wise is incredibly increased by this amount of camber. if u drive normal though after a period of time the insides of the tire do wear out faster, but driving in turns is incredible!!!!!!!!

See thats the thing, SN n New edge are different lengths but with tubulars it showing 94-04 as the same part number.. so are they gonna be the SN length or the new edge length?

1994-1998 and 1999-2004 use the same front control arm, these are the same length.

I think what you're talking about is the spindle on the 99-04 push out the wheels a bit more the 94-98 spindles
