Ok so some of you may remember me saying i was looking into the D-specs but the ole' tax return was less than i expected. Sooo im looking into these now
Total Tokico Front & Rear Strut/Shock Package - For 94-04 Mustangs - StangSuspension.com
Just wondering if they are a good upgrade or not?
I really want the d-specs or possibly the Illuminas, but they're pretty pricey let me know what you all think:SNSign:

I think they are pretty darn good for the price. I know numerious people run them. It would be nice to get the adjustables, but I always said, how often will "I" adjust them actually? I currently have bilsteins and they are pretty sweet as well, but not cheap as those. I think you would be pretty good with those

I have illuminas and they are damn good for the price. I should have saved the cash and went straight to MM coilovers though because I want a even better setup. One bad thing is that I set them to the stiffest position one day and left them that way, so I never adjust them. kind of a waste. I would suggest you sit down and really ask yourself where you want the car to be when it is done. If you will ever want awsome handling save the cash and buy some MM coilovers.

I have those paired up with H&R SS springs. Good bang for the buck if you ask me.

What is the difference between the DSpecs and the Illumina's? They both are adjustable, and the Illuminas are generally, similar in pricing. So what is the difference between the two?

Yea i would love coilovers but right now i need to worry about other things, the only reason im getting them is because my stockers are shot so why not upgrade Plus once i get another DD i'll be able to park the stang to do some real big upgrades

Also are the Tokicos ok for use on a lowred stang? On MM's site they say For use on stock ride height mustangs, but SS's site doesnt specify.

The tokico both illumina and D-spec are designed to work with drop of about 1.5in. If you order a complete kit with springs like I did thats the drop you will get. And I remember a warning in my paperwork that came with my kit to not drop the car beyone 1.5in.
