my car is lowrered with low profile tires and it is bumpy as hell and I really want to improve the ride quality of the car. I was thinking of getting some new tokico struts and shocks to help this. the previous owner of the car had some new sensatrak struts and shocks installed about 3 years ago. would getting new tokicos improve the ride? basically what would be the best thing for me to do to improve the ride on the car? thanks

buy a cadillac if you want something to ride better. Or get ride of your springs and put something softer in there. shocks just dampen the springs from keeping them going up and down non-stop. check all your bushings too. its a mustang...what do you want?

Yep, def check the bushings. They wil get hard over time.

But with lowering springs and low pro tires it will only get a little better. There is a trade-off to be made between ride quality and handling.
