Shocks and struts for my 04?

04MustangGT · 08-08-2006, 11:38 PM

Which shocks and strut package would be better recomended for a DD.
Tokico HP,Tokico illminas or KYB GR2? And what makes one better than the other? I go to the drag strip on occasion but am very tired of bouncing around on stock shocks while driving around on the street. Thanks in advance!

I'd recommend the Illuminas for both spike and 04. They're adjustable which I don't normally like at all but you guys like to drag your cars so the ability to adjust will be nice for you.

GR2's never impressed me but KYB has never impressed me so that says something.

Realize that you'll never get great performance on the strip if you set it up for the street... the two are almost mutually exclusive.

In fact... better yet, why don't you just save yourself a headace, stop taking the advice of dorks like me that may or may not actually know (you can't really tell in text) and call up Maximum Motorsports and have one of their friendly sales staff design you a suspension that will give you the most of everything you want for the least $$$. I actually know this stuff and I still call them to make sure I don't forget something.
