So, my front struts are bout to go. I was wondering what a good ride quality strut would be for when i lower it? I was thinking Tokico HP's. Tell me what you think would be good enough.

Tokicos hp if your on a budget or bilstiens if money doesn't matter. I have heard nothing but good things about either one.

I have the hp's for over a year I liked them but when I replace I will be going with bilstiens.

from what i hear/read, real good. its either them or bilsteins like stated above... theres a kit floating around for like 600 i see every now and then... if u got the $$, get 'em... ull cringe clicking the buy button, but bilsteins are an awesome product

I actually went KYB's and after 60k miles they are still decent... But I DD my stang... I do not have the time/budget to go racing so for a DD the KYB's are just fine...

Now I also went KYB shocks in the rear and I think these are too soft...

10 way adjustable. I hope to install mine this week. They've been sitting in the garage for too long. Their 10 way adj. shocks are pretty cool. I've had those on the car for a year or so.

My car is NOT lowered though. Drag Launch Springs FTW!

thats how im going, 10 ways... strongly debating their coil over kit... but their springs for the coil over kit alone are $103/ea!
