hey guys I'm new here. I just recently bought a 1993 5.0 notchback mustang. The rear shocks need to be replaced, right now it has Lakewood 50/50 drag shocks.

Any suggestions? Nothing too expensive but I don't wanna put on junk either.

What has worked good for U guys

There is, and yet, koni non adjustables aren't a bad thing.

The adjustables come in handy when you want to do different styles of driving (drag racing). They are just really good shocks too, beyond the adjustability.

Koni's are fine. The adjustables are nice if you decide the shock is too harsh or too soft.

Bilstein's are really nice as well.
