Hello everyone!

I have a 2001 GT, the previous owner dropped it rather low with eibach springs and hotchkiss suspension. I have factory struts on front (which is what I plan to always use, due to prior fitment aftermarket issues on other cars) unless I spring for a really expensive set. Which I don't see myself doing. The rear shocks were dying, and the rear end was removed from the car in order to get rebuilt. When I re-install it does anyone have any advice on shocks? I am looking for a VERY VERY affordable set of rear shocks and QUAD shocks that will work with both my FACTORY struts up front and the lowered car. I am not looking to spend a fortune, yet I don't want cheap crap either.

Thanks guys

If you want to use a factory type on a lowered car buy some for a fox body as they are 1 inch shorter. That will keep a stock like travel and keep them affordable. I recommend doing the same on the front struts too.
