i don't know man just an idea. You could also cop you a set of koni blues. They aren't that expensive and they are a nice upgrade from what i hear. Those are what i plan to get here pretty soon.

I put in Tokiko's, but they're expensive. I got them on Ebay. They help, but you sure don't get a Cadillac ride out of them.

Have you checked into the Bullitt suspension kit from Ford? Includes shocks/struts (Tokico), springs and sway bars for ~400 bucks. Just don't expect a big drop. Definately firmer than stock.

I just put in Tokico HP's last week and so far they are MUCH better than stock. They're around $300.

I agree w/ srt on the lameness of the bullitt kit. The spring rates are quite stiffer and it comes with new swaybars but it just isn't enough of a drop IMO.

You can pick up a brand new set of Eibachs and KYB shocks for slightly over 400.

Total Tokico Front & Rear Strut/Shock Package - For 94-04 Mustangs - StangSuspension.com

Not a bad price and 5% off if you use the stangnet promo, plus free shipping. i've dealt with them several times before and i definitely recommend them.

I'd strongly advise you invest in some new springs as well since you're already going thru the hassle of installing new shocks. Ford Racing B and C springs are only around $150

Ford Racing Bullitt Suspension Upgrade Package. Cheap and very effective for daily driving. Replace the Bullitt Springs with Ford Racing "C" Springs for a nice look while you're at it.

I went to the dealer and orderd 03-04 Mach 1 struts. They are made by Tokico and I got the pair for 197 dollars. They handle great. Another alternative is to just get some Monroes or KYB's.

Sorry to revive this older thread; but I'm ordering struts tomorrow and was wondering if the Tokico blues were worth the extra cash over the KYB GR2's. I'm just looking for a decent upgrade from my dead stock set up. Thanks,
Shawn

Go to americanmucsle.com they have Tokico hp shock and struts for $155. Also H&R springs for $240 that lower 1.75 in front and 1.6 in rear for a better stance. This is what I am getting soon Im sick of the truck look.

They're actually $310 for the set, each price is for 1 piece I don't mind paying that if they're worth it over the KYB GR2's That I found for $180 shipped. I'd just rather avoid Monroes and other brands that all my local shops insist are the best out there. Thanks,
Shawn

someone sells the tokico blues for 250, i forget who, but DEF. get that.
MONRoE shocks from what i hear are utter complete trash and the bullitt kit and stuff cost more money than tokicos and their probably not even as good.
