Body:
No, the reason I didn't reply last week was that I was trying to do
some add'l. research on it. I did not have a definative answer. I
do now!

The cars destined to become 2-Seat Convertibles retained their
original equipment 1984-1990 Ford Mustang/Mercury Capri V-8 shocks &

Coupes had the suspension alterations of Carrera Shocks & McLaren
Specific Springs.
You use the originals, from Ford.
