[Shotimes] Aftermarket KYB Struts?

[Dave Kegel]

Since it's a '95 it's most likely got the standard Taurus springs, which
will work with about any strut.  KYBs are not a good match to the earlier
heavier rate SHO-specific springs.  You might want to measure the sway bars
and see if they've been changed.
