I use Competition Engineering front struts (90/10's) and have had no problems with them in 11,000 miles. I'm sure that you'll get good results from any of the brand names.

Depending on the purpose of the car, i think its a better value to get adjustable struts. 50/50 is usually for the back not the front.

But like said above, any of the popular companies will give a good product.

70/30s or 90/10s up front. 70/30 are a bit more highway friendly. also use 50/50s in the rear

The Strange Adj struts and shocks are hard to beat for the price, best of both worlds.

A 90/10 tends to keep a mustangs ront up too high too long.
