My 92 GT currently has cut stock springs and original struts/shocks and rides terrible. When I bought the car it already was like this. It didn't bother me at first but now I just flat hate the ride. It makes me not want to drive my car I still want to keep the lowered stance though. I am currently looking into the Eibach or Tokico basic spring/shock suspension packages. Does anyone have these suspension packages on their cars? Which one would you all suggest?

If you want the 2 inch drop still then go with the Eibach Sportlines and supporting hdwe. I myself went with the Ford "B" springs and KYB stuff. I love the rake and has a decent ride for being lowered. Either way you go it will be a ton better than what you have.
Oh by the way. It only cost 129 for the springs and 160 for the shocks and struts.

I have heard good things about the tokico kit, the one that goes for about 400 on ebay. The only drawback, from your point of view, is that it really doesnt lower the car.

I bought a Bullitt Kit for my 92 which had Struts, Shocks, and Springs in it, I just havent installed them yet. But from what I can see they are very nice!

I really like mine and it did lower it about 1.5 inches and I got it off ebay for $550 shipped, I do have the adjustables though.

I just installed same shocks, and struts, but the rear is very stiff. Do you have this problem?

Hmm...stiff? How so? Mine is what I would expect from new components...but if I launch, weight transfer to the rear is not a problem if that is what you mean by stiff.

Tokico's are great. I have a Eibach and Bilstein strut/shock combo myself. I love it.

I've got an eibach prokit with tokico Illuminas and love it. I had the tokico blue kit that came with springs and shocks/struts on my t-bird that I had and liked it too.

The Eibach / Bilstein combo on my 1985 car is absolutely perfect. It handles like a champ, looks great, doesn't bottom, and makes DC pot holes feel and sound like a $80K+ car. What a difference!
