what are some good replacement shocks i can get. the fronts failed. are they struts. any way might as well replace fronts and back, so looking for nice upgrade that will not break the bank. looking for better performace as well. any suggs on which one's, and where to buy for best price would be great. thanks.

Try tokicos 5-way adjustable illumnas. They will run you right around $500.

Adjustable shocks > non-adjustable

if you don't want to pay much, www.fordpartsnetwork.com, you can get the struts from the bullitt kit for cheap.

yes, it will fit the 96. the kit includes all the shocks/struts and springs. it's a big improvement over stock in every way. i got mine for about $360 shipped.

They will lower a pre-99 1".. You can look at my site for pics on a 99+ which lowers it .75". The ride is fine.. the rear is slightly rougher over speed bumps.. for the money its definately what you want to do if you are already paying for the labor. You will want to get alignment tho
The struts and shocks are RE-valved Tokico Premiums (the blue ones)
