Buying front struts...Any ideas?

[97StallionGT]

I am wanting to buy some new front struts for my 97 gt. Any recommendations? I heard about some struts from ford racing w/ the camber on the strut but I can't seem to find them. I don't want to spend a BOATLOAD on them but I will spend the money on a quality product. If you can recommend a good site or brand please do. Thanks

Do you want adjustable or not? Do you road race? Do you want to sacrifice ride quality for handling?

I really don't know much about them, adjustable or not. The ride quality in my car w/ the *****ty struts is TERRIBLE now so I don't think it could get any worse. I would like my car to handle better though b/c I'd like to get into the Autocross at school.

Cliff Notes: 1. Adjustable or Not? = What's the difference, other than one's adjustable
2. Sacrifice ride for handling = Yes
3. Road Race? = I'd like to get into that

I just got a set of Tokico's shocks/struts non adjustables, and the ride quality is a lot smoother, also got new lower and upper control arms. trust me, its the best money spent on basic suspention mods.

So you got shocks for the rear and struts for the front?

Tokico Blues here (non-adjustable) well worth the price. I wouldn't go with any other strut.

I would recomend the bilsteins but they would be around $200 more than the Tokico's.

I looked at www.eshocks.com also, www.xshocks.com has the tokico's also, just ordered some for my bmw e36 there.

Bilsteins are nice but very pricey. I think I paid about $175 per strut and $80 per shock.
