Should be a big improvement. I know it made a world of difference when I took off my old 90/10's and went to the Strange 10 way struts/shocks.

Wow, this is weird...did the same exact thing on my '00 GT this evening!!!

The Lakewood struts that came on the car were in bad shape...installed some slightly used Illumina's I picked up. :thumbsup1:

hey jeff, i saw on lmr that they had these(drag only) for 94-04. would those not fit? the ones im using are stock for a mach 1 and was told they would fit front and back. struts did come with some hardware that looks like it wont fit

I can get them for you if needed. My warehouse has them in stock for the 94-04 cars. They are longer so the front end might sit higher.

Your lihts are going out today and the Late Model order will ship tomorrow s they have been closed for the holiday!

:lol1: always the salesman! it would be a while if i did. these are the tokico 2004 mach 1 set from ford and he told me they are the same as the hp series and will fit a fox fine. asked around and everyone said they would work great. hopefully they are telling the truth
