I have SN95 spindles, 94 Cobra front brake rotors and calipers and SN95 lower control arms and springs from a 6 cylinger stang. I also have some Tokico adjustable shocks and struts and Caster Camber Plates from a Fox Mustang. I am going to install the SN95 parts, but should I use the Tokicos and CCplates or leave the PRC struts.

Anyone done anything similar? The rears are Mark VII axles, rotors and calipers.

You are better off with some Tbird specific C/C Plates. Otherwise you will need to modify the strut towers to install them.

I would install the Tokico's (or at least the struts), I have a set of the non-adjustables installed. I like them. I wouldn't mind having a set of the Illumina's though. But that's up to you if your current struts/shocks are in good condition. Also if you want to retain the PRC's I'm not certain that the actuators with fit.

In the rear you will need a set of Chuck's rear shock brackets. You better hurry over to the Fox boards, I think there's only one set left.

If they are gone you also can flip your shock mounts to compensate the length difference. Here's a link.

Maximum motorsports C/C plates work great, and 96 mustang koni struts are excellent. Best price and shiping time at the time for the struts was through tirerack. Koni's can be rebuilt which got my interest for the future replacement...
