    Fox exhaust and suspension

    Hi guys,

    I work with a guy and today I found out he has a '91 LX 5.0 auto. convertible - Strawberry Red Metallic with red interior and a white top. He mentioned that he needs a cat-back exhaust system and some suspension ( springs / shocks / struts ). If anyone has any of these items lying around let me know and I'll relay the info to him.

    Thanks!

    Hey thanks Vince! I assume it is the stock 5.0 suspension?
    How many miles on the parts and how old are they?
    If you can text some photos to me at 412-292-2403 when you have time that would be great.

    Thanks again

    He would probably like that, but I'm pretty sure he isn't looking for a project of that magnitude.

    That would be great. If we find some shocks/struts that work well together with them that could be an option.

    Thanks Troy - I will pass along the info but I don't think he is looking to do anything besides shocks/struts and maybe springs.

    The struts are brand new.I'm not sure how old the rear shocks are.I'm 72 years old and putting pictures on my computer are beyond my ability 50.00 bucks for all.

    Thanks again!

    The struts have the number p223w on them and they were painted dark blue. I checked with summit,jegs,napa autozone and advance and it's not any of those. The rear shocks are competition engineering which are drag race only and will not work for you.
