just wondering if using the front struts off of an 02 ws6 would be enough of an upgrade to consider doing on my 00 formula. Thanks

Are you getting them for free? What's the mileage on each one? I don't know if it would be worth it, but there are a couple variables....

Also, they're front shocks

mileage is unknown but they are 40 bucks, the fronts are struts and the rears are shocks.

99Forumula is correct. They are not struts. One of big pet peeves around here is calling the SLA setup on the 4th gen, with its shock and coil, a strut . The third gen f-body came with modified Macpherson Struts, in which the coil was mounted to the lower a-arm, just as with the pre-05 mustang. The thirdgen had a strut, as evidenced by the lack of an upper control arm, and the shock having the strut body to support, and locate the knuckle (spindle).

The fourth gen has a short long arm setup (the SLA in SLA), with an upper control arm, and a spindle, the shock mounts to the lower control arm, and does not locate the spindle.

Long and short, the 4th gens have shocks, not struts.

yea i didnt think it would be much of an upgrade, just need more dampening in the front with the heavier engine.

I "think" they are exactly the same... This isn't a WS6 Firehawk right?

10 year old used shocks are worthless unless you want to sell the car to a sucker. You are better to go to a parts store and get new cheap ones.
