H&R SS Springs What shocks??

[JMstang7]

I have an 04 mustang GT with H&R SS springs and MM c/c plates. I want to get a good set of shocks struts . What would you guys recommend for my set up? Bilstein is out of my price range.

i was gonna say bilsteins but if you cant wait i guess koni. but honestly i would wait unless you need them right now

Bilsteins aren't cheap!

 

[crazystang25]

no they aint cheap but they are worth every penny.

I've been running the Tockico D-Specs with the H&R SS kit for over a year now. I have been pleased with the results and they adjustable so individuals can tune them to their liking or when driving conditions change (track, strip, street). For the price and adjustability, I couldn't find a better setup.

 

[crazystang25]

this is true i have heard some pretty good things about the tokico d-specs but i think they run about the same price as bilsteins. correct me if im wrong. only thing with tokico's is you cant really run them with coilovers. because of the design

 

[evil281]

my tokicos have been nice to me

Are you sure about not being able to run them with coilovers? I was really looking at the D-specs due to thier adjustability

+1. I am running this setup, for almost a week now and I absolutely love it. The money for the bilsteins is worth it. If you have to wait longer to save for it I would do it. I ran cheaper shocks/struts before and the ride was terrible compared to this one.

ya thats y maximum motorsports doesnt run them with their coilovers. because the way they weld them they arent strong enough. call mm and talk to them about it.

weird I wonder why they sell a coilover kit that works with koni/tokico struts on their website

dont know maybe tokico fixed the prob since i bought them. ive had mine for a while so its a possibility. i wanted koni's for their adjustability but couldn't afford them at the time. so i got the bilsteins and honestly i couldnt be much happier even with the koni's these bilsteins are great in really any type of condition. but like i said i have heard good things from tokico d-specs. and of course koni.

Save your $$ and buy the Bilsteins. Lifetime warranty and it's a sick combo.

hands down just get the tokico blues. my ride is better and it was a cheaper route

Another option would be tokico illuminas. 5-way adjustable and about $85 cheaper than Bilstein's. I bought mine on ebay.

The blues are pretty much the same as the Bullitt kit shocks/struts. I had those, and they weren't made as well nor stiff enough for me.

ya one thing that you always have to look at is u get what u pay for. dont get me wrong sometimes u get a good deal. but mostly its like i jus said
