I recently purchased a 1995 5.0, with a set of sportlines on it. But the ride is crapola, due to worn shocks/struts, after doing some research on the subject i've narrowed it down to a few. The car is my daily, and i'm a college student to money IS an object. The shocks i'm leaning towards are either the mach or bullitts or the tokico hp's from a fox. But i'm open to any other shocks for a sn95 or fox, as long as not too much cabbage, my range is gonna be roughly around 200-250 max. Any light on the subject would be awesome

I wanna say the mach/bullit shocks/struts are made by tokico. I know my "bullit" package had the tokico blues in it. I was very happy with them.

Are you considering the tokico's for a fox because they are shorter, so they should perform better since yours is lowered?

I was told by strange to get the fox adjustables since they are shorter and i am lowered. If you can swing it, i would vote for the strange adjustables.
