I have already purchased Eibach Pro springs and I'm currently ready to make the shock\strut purchase? I'm currently looking at Tokico & Koni adjustables.
What should I go with?
Any reasons why?
Any other considerations?

Thanks!

I have the prokit with Bilsteins. (See sig) I couldnt be more pleased! They are the bilsteins off of the 03 cobra (struts) and a set of HD '93 fox body Bilstein's out back.

Tokico 5 ways are cost efective and they seem to make a big difference in handling!

It is hard to go wrong with either Koni, Tokico, or Bilstein. Considering you can get the Tokico Illuminas for $450 shipped, I would go with those unless you are going to be seeing some serious track time. The Illuminas are a good product ... the car rides good with them.

Tokicos from bullit or mach , you really don't need adj. if it's only a street car.

You can get the Mach 1 tokicos for under $200. They are just simply re-valved Tokico HPs for over 1/3 less. I couldn't be happier with my set up.

Oh, to get the Mach's cheap go to modulardepot.com, the the forums, then the Ford Parts section, post what you need and you'll get a response from Randy S. within the day.
