Any updates? Seems like a great deal. Hopefully, these are the oem motorcrafts.

This is excellent timing for me - I've just been shopping for a set of struts for my '95 GL V6. These prices are well under anything else I've seen on-line.
I'm not looking for performance upgrades - so OEM ride/handling is fine for me.
Hmmm - this thread started talking about '98+ struts, and other sources I've seen have different part numbers for '95-'97 and '98+ front struts. The Team Ford links claim the same part number for the front, '95-'00. Am I missing something I should know before I order?
Thanks for any info.

The front springs are different and the front spring perches on the struts are different. Unless they found a way to make it so that they are compatable with both styles, somethings doesn't sound right.

Can you get OEM struts (F & R) for my 95 SE?
Thanks!

Yes, they are availible. They cost slightly more than the SVT struts, but they are supposedly valved to be stiffer than the SVT struts. The 95 (96-97?) SE spring/strut combo was quite good. I'd get the SE struts. Be aware that the front SVT struts are different than your SE's. If you go SVT, you'll have to change springs. The rears are the same fit for SE and SVT.

This special no longer exists. Ford F'd me over and changed the prices to more than what the OEM's can be purchased for.
Sorry guys.
