Hey guys my friend has a 00 GT with stock setup (suspension wise) with the exception of Eibach Sportline springs. This is his daily driver it never see's the track just some aggresive commuting . He is on a tight budget but needs some quality shocks to match his new ride height, I suggested the Tokico non-adjustable blue shocks. I have the 5-way's but I figure for him the non-adjustable's would be fine since they are valved to about a 4 on the 5-way's. What do you think?

Are the bullit or Mach 1 shocks and struts good for lowered cars like the Eibach Sportlines or Pro Kit? Do they last as long as other after market S & S?

I like Pro3 and all I got was this crappy CT.

I also think even if money was not an issue I would say for his needs, being it is a daily driver and to compensate for the stiffer spring rate, the Tokico blue's are a pretty good choice

I run tokico blues with the super sport springs on my 96 and I am very happy with the ride and handling.

Hmmm...found some Tokicos for a good price

Did a little hunting around since I could use a smoother ride and found some Tokico blues, all 4, new on Ebay for around $265 wi/shipping.

Best online store price I found was at a place called Racing Lab for around $353 w/shipping.
