I think I am all set on my spring choice. I am going with the H&R SS. Now I need a strut/shock combo. I have looked at the Tokico's and the Bilstein's. For a set of the Hi Performance Tokico strut/shocks will run me about $310. For the Heavy Duty Bilstein's, about $519. Are the Bilsteins really that much better than the Tokico's? I mean for the setup I am going to have, not a weekend track car. But an overall powerful daily driver? I am leaning on the Tokico's because of the price.

Yeah, you just dont use the third piece, since the Cobra bumper does not have the holes the GT does from the honeycomb grille. Thats when the 2-piece kits come in handy.

JeremyGT I've had no problems with my Tokico HP's, but I have also heard great things about the Bilsteins. Plus since your deciding to go so low with the Super Sports, you might want an overall better shock/strut combo.

I think I have got all my thoughts together on my suspension plans. Thanks a lot for the input guys.

For the last part. About how much should an install of shocks/struts/c/c plates/springs run? I'm going to a shop down my road Wednesday for the guy you give me a quote. Just wondering what some others paid for the install.
