cmsismyname Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Will it work? What are the pros's and cons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 In short, Yes. Because foxbody shocks and struts are shorter than sn95 shocks and struts, they work well for a lowered vehicle. I won't get too technical because I don't want to give false tech but yes, they will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Yes you can. I would call and speak with MM about it because they will be able to give you the best information.Also check out the FAQ section on their site, here are a few URLs:http://www.maximummotorsports.com/store/index.php?main_page=tech_struts_shocks_choose_damperhttp://www.maximummotorsports.com/store/index.php?main_page=tech_struts_shocks_define_damperhttp://www.maximummotorsports.com/store/index.php?main_page=tech_struts_shocks_adjust_vs_nonadjust_dampers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinschmidt1 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Yea, ive always ran the fox body struts/ shocks, they are like 1- 1.5 inch shorter so they work "better" with lowered vehicles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CompOrangeSN95 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I also run Fox shocks/struts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnyxCobra Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 is the length the only difference or are the dampers adjusted differently for fox/sn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldmember Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Figure it's better to keep an old thread in business: Is there any benefit to Fox struts with stock springs? I am replacing front struts soon and simply want to know if there's anything to be gained. I imagine no since the SN has a little more travel.

Det_Riot Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 With stock springs i'd venture to guess no. They only reason why they're advantages to us is if you're tracking a lowered car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With stock springs there would be no need to go with shorter dampeners like those for a fox, unless the springs are cutSent from my MILESTONE3 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iRoush Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 shorter dampers are only better for the corrected bumpstop and travel on lowered cars. this being said, an SN95 Bilstein shock & strut combo is much better than going to a foxbody setup. they have internal bumpstops and the travel is correct for lowered cars already.

Duff Daddy Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 I ran fox body tokico 5 ways front and back, cut rear snive springs and stock fox body 4cyl springs up front with no front or rear sway bars ....... on bigs and littles...... daily.... and still killed 60's haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnyxCobra Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 If fox struts actually help does that imply that the struts aren't linear compression? Or is the rear benefit to gain travel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
