I have read lots about shocks and struts in these and other forums, but I can't figure out what works best for my situation. So, I'm seeking some recommendations and feedback. I have an 88 GT in very good shape, but I need to replace the shocks & struts. It's my daily driver; 40 miles r/t mostly freeway & some city driving. I don't want a soft grandpa ride, but I don't race either. Need something in the middle: good control, solid, stable; but good comfort, not harsh. I've been reading about Bilsteins, Koni, KYB, Tokico, Eibach, and others; many choices & applications. So, what are your experiences and recommendations?Thanks much,
Brian

I have Strange 10 way adjustable struts and they are awesome. You can have them full loose at the track with a turn of the knob back to normal.

I have Koni reds on my 93 and they are much better than the stock tokicos that came on my Mach 1. No complaints with the Konis at all...bottom line is pretty much anything you get is going to be better than what you had

Habiv - what does X2 mean?
Also, I have wondered about adjustable shocks, but is it a hassle to adjust them? How is it done?
Thanks,
Brian
