I want to replace my stock struts and shocks, should have done this a long time ago.... I was looking at the Tokico D spec adjustable kit, I read some good reviews. The car is lowered with Ford Racing B springs. Anybody got an opinion on which struts and shocks are the best?.....loaded question....

um most people around here will recommend the bullitt suspension package, or bilsteins or tokicos. you really cant go wrong with either choice. bilsteins are really good. i like my tokico blues, but then are non adjustable. i think the tokico d's that you are looking at are good to.

Tokico adjustables are a pretty serious shock.. If you just daily your car, or use it for spirited driving, you could save some money and just get Tokico Blues.. They are a great shock for lowered mustangs.

I run the D-spec, great shock/strut for how my car is driven, autocross, drag strip or daily driver depending on the day of the week.

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.

I'm running Tokico adjustables, but they really don't have much of an adjustment range. I don't think it's a huge advatage over the Blues.

Bullit suspension kits are built by Tokico, its marked on the struts. I have both Bils shocks & Bullit struts in mine. For the money it's hard to beat Tokico stuff, they tend to keep the factory ride intact to me. They do OEM stuff for everyone... I just changed Struts/shocks in my Tacoma, OEM was Tokico.

I went with the Tokico blues, received them today.... Good deal on E-bay, free shipping all four 283$. I was going to install them tonight.....but after I thought about it I really wanted to do the CC plates too...wish I had thought of that when I ordered the Tokicos. DOH!!

Anyways, thanks for the advice.
