Does anyone here have the Tokico HP Suspension Kit on their Mustang? This would be the shocks and the lowering springs. Even Bilstein has a shocks and springs combo. Are they any good or should I stick with Eibach for springs and just get the Tokico shocks? I just figure the shocks would be better tuned to the springs with the suspenion kit. All opinions are welcome. Thanks.

Neither, If you want a real tuned kit I think the Bilstein /H&R combo is always safe. Both of those kits tune their springs to be more compliant than, for example, eibach pro kit, or H&R sport, Steeda Sport , etc. Or if you want adjustables Illuminas will work fine.
Their are always compromises in basic packages because they are trying to meet a price point.
The tokico Hp is not an impressive shock. Ive had them one three cars with similar negative charictaristics for each kit. (Noisy, and short performance life span.)
If i had to choose one I would choose the bilstein Kit. But make sure those are Bilstein sport shocks&struts(used to be called HD) and not some lower grade assembly just for theior shock/spring kits.
Ive driven and ridden in both and Bilstein seems to smooth out all those imperfections in the road that tokicos seem to amplify.

So do you mean Bilstein shocks/struts with H&R springs ?
