H&R SS Springs What shocks??

JMstang7 · Feb 10, 2009

I have an 04 mustang GT with H&R SS springs and MM c/c plates. I want to get a good set of shocks struts . What would you guys recommend for my set up? Bilstein is out of my price range.

i was gonna say bilsteins but if you cant wait i guess koni. but honestly i would wait unless you need them right now

Bilsteins aren't cheap!

crazystang25 · Feb 10, 2009

no they aint cheap but they are worth every penny.

I've been running the Tockico D-Specs with the H&R SS kit for over a year now. I have been pleased with the results and they adjustable so individuals can tune them to their liking or when driving conditions change (track, strip, street). For the price and adjustability, I couldn't find a better setup.

crazystang25 · Feb 10, 2009

this is true i have heard some pretty good things about the tokico d-specs but i think they run about the same price as bilsteins. correct me if im wrong. only thing with tokico's is you cant really run them with coilovers. because of the design

my tokicos have been nice to me

Are you sure about not being able to run them with coilovers? I was really looking at the D-specs due to thier adjustability

+1. I am running this setup, for almost a week now and I absolutely love it. The money for the bilsteins is worth it. If you have to wait longer to save for it I would do it. I ran cheaper shocks/struts before and the ride was terrible compared to this one.

ya thats y maximum motorsports doesnt run them with their coilovers. because the way they weld them they arent strong enough. call mm and talk to them about it.

weird I wonder why they sell a coilover kit that works with koni/tokico struts on their website

dont know maybe tokico fixed the prob since i bought them. ive had mine for a while so its a possibility. i wanted koni's for their adjustability but couldn't afford them at the time. so i got the bilsteins and honestly i couldnt be much happier even with the koni's these bilsteins are great in really any type of condition. but like i said i have heard good things from tokico d-specs. and of course koni.

Save your $$ and buy the Bilsteins. Lifetime warranty and it's a sick combo.

Here are some pics of the finished product. That's w/ isolators. There are more pics here: http://forums.stangnet.com/776262-here-new-pics.html

hands down just get the tokico blues. my ride is better and it was a cheaper route

Another option would be tokico illuminas. 5-way adjustable and about $85 cheaper than Bilstein's. I bought mine on ebay.

The blues are pretty much the same as the Bullitt kit shocks/struts. I had those, and they weren't made as well nor stiff enough for me.

ya one thing that you always have to look at is u get what u pay for. dont get me wrong sometimes u get a good deal. but mostly its like i jus said
