hi fellows, i am new to the forum. i have been a mustang lover and owner since high school...
just bought a 85 gt with 62000 miles... nice nice car.

it has ben lowered using eibach springs. the shocks are bad.

i am having a hard time finding shocks that find an 85 gt.. they all say they have them for a 87-93.. but not for a 79-86 ... are they the same shocks ? front and back or are there any differences?

if they are indeed different, pleae share with me what you did to install high performance gas shocks...

On my 86 the front suspension consists of struts and the rear suspension is the shock absorbers.

My shocks/struts were worn out as well so I went with a matched set from Koni which I ordered at the local auto parts store and it wasnt too much at all. Around 200ish for the set.

While I was doing that I went ahead and checked the play in the front and rear suspension and ended up replacing an inner tie rod end and a ball joint that both had ridiculous amounts of play. Also replaced the front sway bar bushings as they were bad and some other misc suspension stuff.

When I got it all back together, man, car handles so much better now.
