Hey guys,

My uncle has an 85 GT that still has a completely stock suspension and he wants to use Eibach Pro-Kits to lower his car. We've been looking around for shocks and struts but we aren't having to much luck. The only brand we found so far was KYB (and they aren't good are they?) What recommendations do you guys have? Does he even need to change his shocks and struts with Pro-Kit springs?

Thanks,
Graham

I think if it's all '85 stock then it's a good idea to do it all while you're in there. I've never heard any real complaints about KYB, but Maximum Motorsports sells a complete package if you check their site. One stop shopping is nice.
