I hear bilsteins are good

No, seriously though, Konis are kinda expensive for just a daily driver car IMO. Do you do any tracking/autox? They are great, but there are also much cheaper options out there. Ive been pretty happy with my Mach1 shocks and struts, but if I were going to keep my car for a very long time, it would get the Bilsteins I have sitting in a box.

Can't go wrong either Koni or Bilstein IMO, especially if you get them in adjustables to tune the ride as the need arises. Since you have a lot of Steeda suspension components, might be a good idea to check with them to see what they recommend to match their spring rates.

yes they are kind of expensive, but you get what you pay for. Outstanding quality, and a lifetime warranty (which I will be making use of once I leave Ohio bc the roads are horrid lol)

i got mine from stangsuspension.com, that place is the bomb. I'm sure you can find them for cheaper on ebay but frankly, i hate ebay so i didnt bother looking

Ok, so assuming I decide to keep mine, how do I go about getting the warranty validated if I need it? Can someone that buys them used get the warranty?
