Quic Shocks/Struts Question?

[ghadab]

hi guys

I bought eibach pro- lowering springs that i want to install on my 97 mustang cobra, and i want to change my old OEM shocks/struts:

So what do you guys advice me to buy ?


NOTE: the car is for street use, street race and occasional trackdays, sprint & auto-x


please advise

tokico blue's are nice... koni makes a nice set...

i just ordered a set of koni yellow adjustable. I have done research for the last week, and have not found any cons with the konis

I run Tokico Illumina's, I have absolutely no complaints.

guys thanks for your reply .

i would like to clarify something from you guys these shocks you suggeted will replace the OEM ones but NOT a coilover conversion right> ???

(because i don't want a coilover conversion shocks/struts)


thanks

KYB makes a very nice set as well. Cheaper than all the aformentioned as well.

everyone has listed good options, I went with Bullitt shocks and struts from Ford which turned out to be Tokico Blacks, added that to eibach springs, and I didn't need cc plates

Everyone has great suggestions so far. I went with Strange 10 way adjustable shocks/struts on my car w/Steeda lowering springs. At the time I purchased mine I got them through Summit because they were cheape than anyone else. Also, becuase you will be lowering your car, make sure you get the Fox length shocks/struts. They are just a tad shorter than the SN95 length and will definately work the best for you with a lowered suspension.

Good luck :beer:

Koni yellows

Koni Yellows are the best, same as an 03 Cobra and work best with the lowering springs.

how do you like the Koni's so far and what vendor did you buy from? Furthormore, what springs are you using?

I have the 95R springs, not installed yet, and before I install them I will need shocks and struts for the heavier spring rate. I was thinking Bilsteins also.

also if you go with ones made for a 93 GT they will give you a little more travel.
