Can Tokicos Blues be used to replace the oem struts and shocks and work with the stock springs? Thanks. Pearl02.

I don't see why not. It'll make a huge difference replacing your high miled stock shocks and struts, and if you've got those out, maybe look at maybe tossing in a new set of springs too. It'll feel like you're driving a brand new car... no, even better, since you're using aftermarket parts your car never had.

I'd buy KYB AGX instead. They are great, and well priced.

I was reading that on 94-2004 stang if the car is lowered more than 2" that you should order the 87-1993 shocks and struts. anyone know if there is any truth to that?

Have you any experiance with KYB's? I was rcommended to buy the Tokico Blues from MRT direct by someone who used then on his lowered Stang. He wasn't trying to sell those right them and there. What else can you tell me about them? I also plan to lower the Stang this summer. I was toying around with just installing the struts/shocks for now. I've decided to install the springs at the same time. I'm just like a woman, I can't male up my mind. Thanks. Pearl02.

I have them all round. About 6 years now. No issues. I have the shorter earlier model struts as mentioned in the post above. My shocks are the ones for our year. The older struts are about an inch shorter, so suitable for lowered cars. Maximum Motorsports used to sell the sets that way.... I'm not sure if they still do.

Theyve been great. $ way adjustable fronts, 8 way rears, and they rears are easier to adjust than Tokico adjustables.
