Go tokico all the way!I just had all shocks/struts and springs replaced yesterday on my 96gt dropped it about 1.5" in the front and 1" in the back. The ride is better than stock too, I love those shocks recomend them all the way. As for a good shop...youre in RI? i suggest you take a ride to Deer Park on L.I. and go to Mustang Magic. Joe did mine and he did a great job. He does the setup i got for $600 (parts and labor)
if you have some wrenches and a little time, id suggest thinking about installing them yourself. I did mine using a service manual and an online writeup...just the shocks probably only would have taken me 3 hours. i hate paying shops to do work i think i can do myself, but then again i'm a college student with really nothing but time.
