Shocks and Struts
 
Ok I have to get new shocks pretty soon cause mine are about gone. I know bilstein are the best but are there any that match up pretty well with the bilsteins for alittle less

Depends on the ride you want. But have a really close suspension set up that you have. I have the Tokico HP shocks and struts and I love them. Not to hard and not to soft....for me...I dont know what your goal is so I can't give a whole lot of advice. But my friend also has HP after he rode in my car and he oves his to. And you cant beat the deal with a price of 260$.:boink:

What are you trying to get out of the car?

Well with my car being as low as i is I just want shocks that are going to give me the best ride quality. Im probably going to go with the Bilsteins but just wanted to know if there were a similar kind for alittle cheaper

what springs are you using? do you have CC plates yet? once I have that I can give you a good recommendation that won't brutalize you. If you're not riding on coil overs then your car is kinda low for stock type suspension... should raise it up 1/2" or so all the way around. feel free to say get bent on the ride height but you're causing some ride and handling issues being that low. car looks good though.

yeah my ride was horrible being that low I know exactly how it is....I am changing the front sprngs to raise it up a bit. But i am telling you those tokico HP's are great for the money. It handles a ton better and its smooth when it needs to be.

I'll agree to 04MustangGT's comment. Tokico's (blue or illumina) are good dampers and definitely a good product for the money.
