Sure, there are V8 shocks available but it requires slight grinding on the spindles for them to fit. The early V8 cars face this same issue. If you have an early V8 you must shave the spindle in order to install the shocks that are made now ~or~ install the newer V8 spindles which is what everyone does outside of the SCCA to include circle track racers. Bottom line is if you want competitive performance shocks for the Mustang you will need to remove a small amount of material to install them. If Ron had not said anything No One would have known any better.

I agree. I think the rules need to clarify.

I was talking about the rear shocks and not the front struts.

I seem to remember needing a spacer to fit a Koni strut on my 85 GT spindle. This went away when I updated to an 88 5.0 spindle. I guess I wasn't aware of difference between the 4cyl cars and the v8's.

I'm sure this has been researched but what about struts specific to the SVO or the 83-84 4cyl turbo GT?

For what is worth the hot ticket is a FOX strut on an SN95 car. Apparently you can lower the car more. An A Sedan deal.
