Looking for some help.

Does anyone know where I can purchase replacement brake pads for a standard 1989 Saleen
5 bolt set-up ?

Also looking for replacement shocks / struts for the same car which were Monroe back in '89.

Saleen doesn't carry much if anything for the old fox body cars.

Any help would be greatly appreciated !

I not sure about the brake pads, but you might try Mark @ PerformanceAutoSport.com and see of he has the shocks/struts. You may also check with him on the brake pads as well. He deals with a lot fox body Saleens. Also you may try the guys over at scoatalk.saleenclubofamerica.com and see if they have any other leads. There is a larger contingent of fox body Saleen owners there than here. Just a thought. Good luck.

I just replaced my 89 SSC Shocks with Bilsteins - big improvement, not original, but worth it. PAS does carry some Monroes if that's what you're looking for.

The brakes are SVO, should be able to get pads anywhere -

+1 on the bilsteins. They will make a much better ride for you. yes, the pads are simple off the shelf replacement. The front rotors are basically 80's Lin. Mark and the rear brakes are svo/turbo t-bird set ups.
