I can go to autozone/advanced auto etc. buy some shocks and struts for a fox body and it would first of all fit on my 2000 gt and second improve my ride with lowering springs? Because apparently the fox body components are a little shorter.
Am i understanding this right?

Our cars are based on the fox platform, but they are in no way a Fox body.

Stick with shocks/struts made for your year .

 

i heard 4 cyl fox body front springs help your times

 

fox body front springs will help you go faster in the 1/4 mile as they are much softer then stock, and thus transfer weight faster for better 60' times.

 

you can run fox spec anything

 

I didnt know that running those shocks/struts was possible on that year...

You learn something new every day!

 

only do it if you want your car lower. you can run the A arms too if you want your wheels to tuck in

 

This is a much argued subject. The difference between Fox3 and Fox4 cars struts was a half inch of travel, that's it. They're totally compatible as long as the later model car is intended to ride lower than stock. I wouldn't go the other way and use 95+ on a Fox, but fox on any 79-04 is ok.

If you lower your car, and want to stay off the bumpstops, use Foxbody struts. Maximum motorsports recommends it, so do I having used both. The extra 1/2" of bump travel means a lot when your car is as low as mine.

Don't get scared. It works and it's totally OK to do.
