2002 vert with sportlines. What are some good shocks/struts to use with them? I want to maintain my ride height.

Will Tokico HP's work? How about LCA's? I dont want the car to sit any higher with them.

Id say the budget is about $400-500 and I just want the car to ride smoother. I feel every damn bump in the road, HARD.

Why not get a set of Eibach Pro Dampers? They are designed to work with Eibach springs. I got mine from American Muscle for about $400. I'm very pleased with them.

The reviews on the pro dampers is not very good. In fact, they are horrible. From what I've read on multiple sites/vendors, about half those who are running them are satisfied with them

How did they affect the height? Did the car sit a little higher with them?

no height difference...but i ran fox body struts up front which is what you should do too. they are better for a car with sportlines because they are 1" shorter than the 96-04 strut.. helps the strut not bottom out

So you're saying that when I go to order them, say through AM, I need to order from the 87-93 section.....like these

http://www.americanmuscle.com/mustang-tokico-strut-87-93.html

....and they will bolt up easily onto a 96-04 car?

What about the shock? Run the regular 96-04 verson?

Yes the 87-93 struts will bolt up just fine with no issues...not sure about the rears as I was running the 96-04 rears
