I'm sure you will get a lot of opinions on this subject, here's mine. I went with Tokico Premiums "Blues" non adjustable. Good ride quality, hooks good, and corners good. I'm not into racing that much, so they work for me.

Tokico non adjustables came in my Bullitt suspension package. Rocketman said it all.

If you are running stock springs Bilsteins or Tokico HP's will work great. The Tokicos that are OE on the Bullitt and Mach1 are valved to the springs found on those cars.

Heres the way I look at it.

Bilstein = $500-600
Tockico HP = $290-340
Mach1 shocks/struts/springs = $290-350

If you want full adjustability, Strange Engineering, QA1, and Tockico all make fully adjustable shocks and struts.

If you want shocks/struts for drag racing in-line, such as at the drag strip, then I suggest Lakewoods. Their not too expensive and are commonly used for drag cars.

If you are looking for something that is great for just corner carving and handling, then Bilstein and Tockico both make shock and struck packages for your application.

I don't have the Mach 1 package (see my sig), but I think it is a hell of a deal for what you get. I have test driven a Mach 1 and was impressed how well it drove (and that was with stock rear arms).

I have the strange 10-way adjustables and love them. I can soften them up for the track and make them nice and firm for the street. You can't beat the price either. I ordered them from Strange directly, their prices are on their website.

How much of a drop did you get with the Bullit setup? Hows the ride compared to stock and does it make the car hug the road any better?

My set-up is nice and was well priced. Front is very low though, I do scrape the K member sometimes, so I have to be really careful in construction areas etc.
