Which shocks and struts??

[Late4Work]

Well ive posted this a bunch of times so right now im gonna do a poll......im upgrading the suspension in my mustang and was wonderin what everyone else thought was a good brand of shocks and struts......tokico or KYB.....i want a good ride quality but dont want to pay and arm and a leg......just a good shock and strut, nuthin fancy like adjustable 400 ways.........any advice is awesome!!

if lowered any of them would be good, just get the fox body models. The fox shocks/struts are shorter giving my cyl travel. THat equals better ride, and longer life.

ive already got an eibach pro kit for my car.....would getting fox body shocks n struts work??

 

[scarface]

yes they will, and they will work quite well. I have them on the front of mine.

Get the bargain option.... 03/04 Cobra spec'd bilstein struts for about 165/ea and then buy a set of regular bilstein shocks for the rear at about 95 bucks each.

ok so right now the poll is winning with ur mom(i knew i shouldnt have put that in there).......but u guys r sayin that i can go with either fox body shocks n struts.....or 03 cobra ones......so i have a choice of either??

yes, you can run fox all the way around, and you can run 03s up front only. You will still blow the 03s out as fast as you would any new edge strut though.

I have no complaints about my Tokicos and I've heard great things about the non-adjustables also. I run the strut for SN95s and it works great, although they are the stock height strut they are made to be used with lowering springs.

 

[scarface]

only thing fox struts do is last longer... Im not say sn struts wont work great.

 

[OnyxCobra]

why do they last longer?

 

[scarface]

why do they last longer?

because they are shorter, which gives more cyl travel. sn struts blow out because they bottom out on a lowered car.

yeah the stock ones, but the aftermarket ones are made to work on lowered vehicles...

ok man...you have your opinion, and so do I. I am just going to stop replying to anything, it seems like you follow me here just to disagree with me.

 

[Late4Work]

lol come on scarface dont get discouraged

 

[OnyxCobra]

I'm just saying man the SN95 ones work just fine or they would change how they make them. Also the camber plates come with spacers that allow you to adjust the strut height for cars that are lowered more.

 

[scarface]

ok. You win.

:lol:

Dude I'm not saying you're wrong, just giving my opinion. Forums are made to discuss things. You're making it sound like everyone running SN95 struts on a lowered car is going to blow them out which just isn't the case.

 

[scarface]

ok. You win.
