take your time doing everything if you can, check your wheel bearings, maybe take them out and add some more grease. abs light should come on when you turn the key to ignition. i dont think 94-95 gt models came with abs tho. make sure the front struts housing isnt sealed so when you replace the shocks it wont stop the work flow. check rotors and brakes. get alignment after work is done.

My '94 has ABS, as did most if not all 6th generation GT's. My reccomendation when you have everything apart- Check your ABS lines (the other rubber line running to your brakes other than the brake fluid lines) to make sure they didn't break like one of mine did. Theres two wires that broke off my front passenger that I only noticed when I installed my Tein SS. I just had to solder the wires back together....but as with any installation, make sure you give everything in front of you a good one over before youre done to check your work and see if anything needs to be relplaced or worked on.
