It seems that i've needed to replace my shocks and struts for quite a while now, so I think I may get around to doing it this summer... However, i've turned back into a mustang n00b and need some help picking some out.

I've got Steeda Sport springs on my '02 GT... any suggestions?

I don't want any adjustable shocks/struts or anything too expensive. It's not my daily driver anymore, so i'm not too worried about it.. I just want some that will work with my springs and still give me a good ride.

Great for a daily driver! I remember when you use to be able to buy the mach 1 struts and shocks on ebay for 180 shipped (same thing w/ diff valving)

I wish I would have bought adjustable struts and shocks now

Thanks for the link. I was thinking about ordering the Mach 1 shocks/struts but wasn't quite sure if that would be a good fit

I knew those were the best, but there is no way i'm spending that kind of money on shocks and struts.

However I cant launch for **** at the track anymore, I am looking at changing my setup..

Mach 1 tokico's will work nicely, and they are still cheaper than the blues... I think at least..

Go to the dealer. Order up 2003-2004 Mach 1 struts. I got them for my 96 Cobra. They have great ride quality. They are made by Tokicko. They were just under 200 dollars. They came with all new hardware and mounting plates.

Yea that is an awesome find. I wonder how big of a difference there is between bilstiens and these??? Because these are 1/2 the price. I'm in need of new shocks/struts as well. But I don't have alot of $ and I don't like to buy crappy stuff. Tokico is a prettyy well known brand.

Anyone have these and really like them?

If you're patient, wait until some used Bilsteins show up on eBay. I love my Bilsteins, and that's what I did. The ride quality with those is better than stock (in my humble opinion, of course).
