Default shocks/struts for ford racing c-springs?

I recently ordered a set of ford racing c-springs for my 2002 GT. Can anyone recommend a good shock/strut setup for these springs? The car is a daily driver that may see the track a few times a year. Also, I am on a bit of a budget. Thanks for any feedback.

You can look at the Tokico Iluminas or some Bilsteins.

Mach 1 shocks and struts. Probably the cheapest choice. Talk to Randy

I agree with Icefreezen. Stock mach 1 shocks and struts are Tokicos

I'm running them on my c-springs as well and its a pretty decent ride with some good handling. Not to mention they are valved closely to where you want them to be.

c's are a bit rough for the HP valved Mach 1 set. I'd jump up to illuminas. HP's will be at their valving limit on a 650# spring. Not to mention if you want to do that track time on the 1320 then you'll want to be able to loosen up the front for better times which you can only do with adjustables like the illuminas (and pulling the front sway bar)

Of course.. I prefer Maximum Motorsports HD valved bilsteins. They're just about perfect for a street car with heavy springs.
