Steeda spring w/stock shocks, struts...

[Mr GT 02]

I wanna lower my car a bit.
I wanna get the Steeda Sport Springs. Will those be ok with the STOCK shocks and struts? Will ride be worse or better with the new springs with stock struts n shocks? I wish i could get the Tokico HP's but i cant afford it. Every site I go its like $309 for the set! sheesh....
my car has 42,000 miles on it, and visits dragstrips occasionally.

Thanks

Thats good to hear. I could save alot of $$$ right now if i dont get the Tokicos yet..

your struts n shocks are stock right?

Thanks

well i had stockers with the springs and thats the info i gave you with the stockers but now i have KYB shocks and struts but still good shocks i recomend doing the install your self i did and its a piece of cake

Get Mach 1 shocks and struts. They are tokicos.

Or get Bilsteins if you have money. See the reviews section on why. They are expensive, but you never have to replace them, and even if you did, they back it up with a lifetime warranty. They don't degrade over age and automatically adjusts to all road conditions. I'd recommend Bilsteins if you want to hold on to as much ride quality possible since lowering springs sacrifice ride quality for performance.

They're also OE on late model Cobras.

the steeda sport springs will work with the stock shock

Yup they do. They ride smooth too. I was surprised. Save up for those shocks and struts tho. You'll need them in the future because your stock stuff will wear out quicker.

without a question when you do buy shocks and struts dont waste your $$$ get the bilsteins...i have had tokico blues, illuminas, and the mach 1 tokicos and there all junk compared to the bilsteins, it will ride smoother, not bouncy and just trust me you will thank me when you drive it, plus the stock stuff will wear out quick with any lowering spring due to not beign able to dampen the increased spring rate.

Not only do the stock shocks/struts wear out quicker because of not being able to effectively dampen the increased spring rate, another thing that wears them out quicker is because of the simple fact that they were designed to have a certain amount of compression while your car is standing still & that rate becomes increased; so in essence, they are always working, even when your car is not.

+1 for Bilstein

i put steeda sports on about a week ago with the stock shocks and struts...the ride quality actually improved and as of yet im not having a problem with the shocks and struts and i have 78K on my clock

Imma get the Steeda Sport Springs NOW and have them installed pared with my stock shocks n struts.

But I do plan on getting the bilsteins in the future. I just wanna lower my car now. Cause I have had it with the 4x4 look....and FUN FORD WEEKEND is around the corner and I want the stang looking slick.

that's the same price I bought them for. Maximum Motorsports is selling the same thing for $630 w/tax I think.

They have since settle more. They dropped about 1/4in more.
