New shocks. What to get?

[2tonestanger]

OK this is my first post on here so take it easy. I've got a 99 35th GT with two tone paint and other cosmetic stuff as well as a good bit of performance upgrades (most recently a Professional Products intake manifold with 75mm TB and plenum... not installed yet waiting for my shop to free up so they can do some porting on it.)
Anyways all i've got done suspension wise is 17x9 w/ 275s up front and 17x10.5 w/ 315s in back, Eibach Sportline springs, and adjustable camber/caster plates. With my car nearing 90k miles i figure i need new shocks ASAP (yes i should have got them with the springs but $$$ did not allow and you all know how the power bug bites). The car is a daily driver and I love to autocross it as much as I can (about once a month) and plan on going to the strip soon to see how the acceleration is with my new ZEX nitrous kit. So with such a variety of driving i was thinking adjustable shocks for sure right? I know that the springs i have messed up the weight transfer for great drag launches but I can make up fro it a bit with really good adjustable springs no?
So I was thinking of getting Tockico's new D-spec multi-way adjustable shocks/struts for the wide band of adjustablity they offer while still being a reasonable price. Anyone have them? Any good? What else do you guys think is good?

The dspec's are the ones I have be eyeing just for the reasons you listed. If however the majority of the time the car will be daily driven/autocrossed, you might want to think about the bilstiens, unless you know how to adjust a suspension.

There are tokico's on my mom's civic, the 5ways, and they have had a long rough life and are still doing great. Of course my idea of setting up the suspension is drive the car change something see if it feels better and repeat till I get it where I like it.

I have had these shocks for the last 9 months and I absolutley swear by them. I am not a serious dragstrip guy or track guy but for a multiuse shock I like them. i use my stang for everything. One thing if your planning on going full coil over suspension they are not the best shock to have on the rear of your ride just the rear shock mounts use a friction weld wich is not the best thing for the stresses that the rear coil over puts out I don't have coil overs in the rear so this is not an issue for me

I havthe D Spec on my ride and love them.

Great can do all shock/strut

Stang Suspension is where i got mine, Stangnet get 5% off.
I even sprang for the remote adjusters for the rear.

KYB's

I'm currently running The KYB AGX's on my '99 gt vert. They are great, and wont kill your wallet. My car is used mostly in auto X and Drifting. Daily driving is not bad on soft setting. stiff setting will knock your teeth out and hurt overall traction on bumpy road. The D-specs are nice, Got to ride in another guys car w/ them. However, there was no noticable performance gain. Actually, I was 1.2 sec faster through the course, but that can be from many other things. But for 99% of the weekend auto X group, the KYB's will be just fine. My whole set came from a (good) company on ebay for $390 shipped.
Good luck

$390 is CHEAP for AGX.

I paid like $550 for my D Spec shipped
