Fox Body struts are designed to help control your tires by keeping them on the ground to provide as much traction as possible. While going over bumps or cornering, your weight is shifted to one side, and the strut begins to push the tire down trying to regain grip on the road. If you did not have struts, your tires would be free to bounce (which initially happens when your struts wear out) and affect the performance of braking and handling. It is always recommended that you replace both shocks and struts at the same time to give the same new quality and long-lasting use.

Upgrading your suspension system is a common but important install to giving your Fox Body a better quality ride. Adding Fox Body struts, sway bars, coil overs, and upgraded hardware are all ways to improve the handling and steering of your Mustang. Fox Body struts help to give your car a stiffer ride and better performance on and off the track. Adding lowering springs to your Fox Body helps to lower your car for a better center of gravity. Having a lower center of gravity helps to improve traction, cornering, and in overall performance.
With LMR.com’s all-inclusive suspension kit to completely overhaul your Fox Body, we include every component needed for this upgrade which is one of the most popular upgrades to your Fox. A front sway bar, as well as a rear sway bar, are included to reduce body roll for improved cornering. Lowering springs are provided to give an optimized center of gravity, as well as the perfect stance while off the streets. New jounce bumpers are included to prevent bottoming out, and performance shocks and struts pair great with the springs to improve handling without sacrificing ride quality.
