I moved this thread to the appropriate sub-forum after realizing it was in the 'for sale' area.

I believe the Turbo Coupe or SN-95 (i.e.- 1994-2004) can work in a pinch. There is a slight difference in over all length from our stock units, but it is at least minimal compared to a regular Fox a-arm. The stock arms are 14" in length between the bushings and ball joint for reference. The TC/94-99/99-04 arms are all 13.75" in length. The 94-99 arms are a step up from the TC arms due to a low-friction ball joint. The late 99-04 are deemed 'best' due to the combination of a low friction ball joint and revised geometry for better turn radius. All versions of Mustang use the same basic a-arm, so you have a large supply in bone yards if that is your choice. One issue with all of these arms is the spring cup isn't as deep as the SVO arm, so if you put stock springs back in you will need to cut them otherwise your nose will be up in the air.

You will also need to get ball joint adapters to run those arms with the SVO spindle due to the larger ball joint stud on the stock arms. Here is a link to the Maximum Motorsports versions of the adapters:

Most aftermarket arms, unfortunately, require moving to a front coil-over suspension change. If you can't find someone willing to sell a pair of SVO arms, the replacement arms are your least expensive option. Try searching the forums here, if you haven't already, as I think some folks have performed this swap. Hope this info helps.

You may want to PM JTurbo. He has a write up to machine and replace the ball joint with a serviceable one.
