Fox guys: Remember these?

[89LXSport]

Hi folks, just getting my 89 LX back on the road. Replaced the struts and shocks this weekend. Anyone remember these?



Those of you who know, know. Those who don't? I bought them back when Super Shops was still around.

How's the difference in ride?

I thought this was gong to be about rear window louvers. I really have been debating getting a set for my 92.

How's the difference in ride?

Well, the ride used to be a lot stiffer, which I kind of liked. I went with KYB's all the way around, and the ride is pretty nice. Less squeaks and rattles with the new shocks/struts.

I have a friend that ran the aluminum ones on his 85 GT. They looked really cool, but rattled around quite a bit while driving. They used to have some that were ABS plastic, but I never cared much for the way they looked compared to the aluminum ones.

Or headlight covers.





89LXSport, You're going to be rethinking that decision to go with KYB shocks / struts after you've put some miles on it. Those are the worst $$$ I've ever spent on my Mustang for handling / ride quality.

My 86 GT came with GTS front blackouts still in the box

what shocks are you reccommending?

what shocks are you reccommending?

I'm not making a "for" recommendation. I'm making an "against" recommendation. Any brand will be better than the KYB junk. I've heard nothing but good about Bilstein & Koni. My next set of shocks / struts will likely be Bilstein. Pricey though.

Back in the day they were the shit! When my '84 was new I considered getting them but never did. They did look good with blacked out windows on the foxes & camaro's. Looked good with aluminum louvers too. Lots of both in my HS parking lot.

i looked at bilstein based off the research ive done online, but for the price, it better drive like a cadilac and you know thats not gonna happen. I d like to know which shocks and stuts to use that are fairly priced

I liked the ride of the Tokico HPs and H&R SS springs I had on my 02, but the only thing I have to reference it against is the stock setup.

Wouldn't be a caddy ride. It's most important to match the shocks / struts to the springs for a good ride that handles well. I've heard good stuff about the Tokicos as HOOCBB mentioned.

i checked out the pricing and they are about 120 for the front and about 70 for the rear, i just cant confirm if thats a piece of for the pair....
