I have a 99 Cobra with IRS with Eibach Pro Kit Lowering Spring. I want to upgrade the shocks/struts but not sure what I should go with. I would love to get coil over but they are out of my budget. I've heard KYB, Bilstien and Tokico. Anyone have any of the above and could tell me what they think of them?

Thanks,

James

You can sometimes find 03/04 piece on Ebay, at least as far as struts and shocks go. I'd prob go with a pro-kit and one of those beefier IRS kits that MM or Steeda sell.

The stock Mach 1 stuts are Tokicko's and are supposed to be really good. Some 03-04 Cobra owners are going to Mach 1 struts.

Yea, I had Tokico 5 way Illumina's on my 99 GT and just them and H&R (1.9 up front and 1.7 in the rear) springs made it handle so much better. I actually just pulled them off today to put them on my 95 Cobra cus the 99 got wrecked the other day (guy pulled a uturn in front of me ) So yea, I think Tokico's would be a good way to go. Maybe upgrade your control arms too.
