there is no "best" option out there. you need to look at what you want outta the car. road racer, drag racer, fun on the streets, budget performer? which one will it be? i went with budget performer so i chose Tokico Premium shocks/struts. they perform great and were affordable for me. Bilsteins are one of the best around, but theyre expensive. Strange makes a good adjustable shock/strut. as far as springs, how much of a drop do you want? what kind of ride quality? harsher or more stockish feeling? let us know your plans for the car firstThe Stang GT said:Hey guys, Just wondering if anybody could advise me on as to which Lowering Springs, Shocks, and Struts are the going to be the best for my money. I have a 00 GT. Thanks!!
DocG2828 said:Yeah, you gotta figure out if want drag suspension or road suspension. Bilsteins and HR springs are awesome....but probably not so good for drag racing. If you want that, look for some drag racing specific suspension or something adjustable. Can't really have the best of both worlds though, but you can find something that is "okay" in both worlds.

sportlines do suck.02GTRX said:whatever you do dont get eibach sportlines. THEY SUCK!
True - the Mach 1 setup is a bargain, with the shocks and struts going for about $165 (that's for all 4!) and the springs for about $150.hognutz said:well if you want logevity I would run bilsteins. if you want cost I would run tokico.
I would do either bilsteins and h&r. or I would run the tokico hp kit of ebay.
tokico hp shocks and springs kit ~$390
bilsteins with H&R ~$680
bullit suspention is either 3/4 or 1" that is not enough if lower for looks at all.
cheapest of the cheap option would be mach 1 shocks and struts with ford springs.
Anymore than a 1 inch drop and you'll likely need CC plates - yeah, get the Maximum Motorsport ones - good stuff. You don't need Struts and Shocks, but you'll find the OEM ones will wear quicker. I put my springs on, I need CC plates, but haven't done so yet (next month..it'll live til then) and will likely do new struts and shocks then as well.stang_fanatic said:Speaking of getting a Suspension, what exackly is required?
I was about to get springs, but then I read that I "might" need Struts and Shocks, then someone mentioned MM Caster / Camber Plates will be needed.
Can anyone shed some light on what exackly is required when getting the lowering springs ?
