I am looking to spend up to 500$ on shocks and struts, and was wondering what you guys would get with that kind of budget? I have Steeda sport springs already and the car is lowered. The car is really just a toy and will probably never see track time. Also I like to corner so I would like the best handling possible. I was looking at the Tokiko 5 way adjustable? Leet me know what you think.

I am eventually gonna change my suspension aswell.

Bilstein and tokico is what alot of people will recommend to you on in this forum. Something you might consider is the bullit mustang suspension package. It is priced at $400 and includes shocks/struts and all 4 springs. The shocks/struts are tokico from what i understand. I dont have any first hand experience with any of this, but it has been recommended to me.

Stangbear, 2000xp, shakerhood and hissin50If any of these members chime in, listen to them. They are good and know their business..

good luck

I just put Tokicos on the '94 (Eibach drop already in place) and they made a very nice difference IMHO. Do note that I dont have the refined taste that many folks here do (I would poop myself if I ever had Bilsteins, for instance). But for my needs (DD, crappy roads, very stiff springs on a stiff chassis), those dampers really helped.

If I had needed springs too, I would have heeded the advice of 5.0 2 Go and gotten either the Mach 1 or Bullitt set up. A buddy on here made me a great deal on his 5K mile Tokicos (he went to coil overs on his snake).

The other guys will have great advice for ya.
And 5.02Go thanks for the kind consideration.

I just installed Strange 10 way adj. shocks/struts. Boy, what a difference!!
I can really tell a difference in the adjustments too. Pretty reasonably priced too, $380 for all four.

As easy as the rear and quads are.

Thanks for the input. What Bilsteins? I was looking at some that were between 500-600$. If that model is good I would thin I will go with them, so I don't have to get better ones in the future. Thanks

I got Strange 10 way adjustable shocks/struts for $350. They are excellent, I love the adjustability. Highly recommend them.
