I lowered my stang....I got tokico shocks,struts, and springs. I will post pics when i get them. It gave me a nice drop for those wondering though and ride quality is TOP KNOTCH. Better than stock and it handles the bumps and potholes just as well if not better than stock. I have no negative comments about the Tokico setup.....great stuff.


My question is that when i accelerate hard, i hear something rubbing in the back. It used to only do this when i had a lot of weight in the back, but now it will do it if i get on it. What do i have to do? I remember reading someting about the pinion?

THANKS GUYS

There is a shortened pinion snubber you can put on..mine came with the eibach kit. I think if that was your problem it'd be more of a clunking than a rubbing noise.

I went with koni adjustibles and sport lines and my ride sucks bad!!! i don't understand.... It handles awsome but when i hit a bump it feel like i'm riding in my old jeep.

nah, not with the tokico setup(springs,struts, shocks) GREAT handling, and the car hugs the road. You feel the bumps but they aren't jarring, not much "rougher" than stock....

Maybe you're talking about the driveshaft rubbing the ebrake cables? I have the same problem and am interested in the answer.
