The spring perches are different, so unless you change struts at the same time, you're out of luck.

If you change springs, aren't you supposed to change struts also? Or at least "highly recomended"?

I put the roush springs on my SVT with any problems but it was a 1999 and after ford had changed the type of springs used. Earlier vesrions have different perches as mentioned but you can go with this setup if you get new struts as you can get the right ones to fit the 98+ (you will most likely need new mounting plates as well).

I measured the drop in inches for my vehicle for anyone interested in using the Roush Springs vs. others, just have to go and find my little book with the numbers. Can't beat the $150US they were going for!
