I've had my Mach 1 shocks/struts on for 5 months now and so far I've had no problems and the car handles really well. If money is no object, get the Bilsteins.

I what ever brand you go with (I went with Tokico Blues and Like them) do some research about the fox body style front struts. If you replace the front struts with 94+ after market they are the same size as the stock (which are high to begin with due to the change in the production line) The SN95s needed a higher clearance then the fox bodies so the SN95 shocks were taller then the Fox bodys. So with a 2" drop in the front I would suggest what I did and that is Fox Body struts (front) and SN95 Shocks (back)
