I would rather go with Mach 1 strut/shocks. They can be found at fordpartsnetwork.com for 180. They're revalved Tokico blues, probably to accomadate the huge drop (*sarcasm*) the Mach 1 comes with. The KYB GR2 are oem replacement and the AGX are good because of adjustability, but their rep for lasting isnt nearly as good as Koni or Bilstein. </P>


I'm planning to go with H&amp;R Supersports, Mach 1 shock/struts, and probably MM c/c plates. hopefully in 2 weeks. </P>

why would u buy those? go to fordpartsnetwork and get the Mach 1 shocks (they're basically the same thing) for 100 bucks less. thats a steal in my opinion.

what do u think.... i mean if the more expensive ones are better, then they are better, 100 bucks isnt that much , BUT if they are really the exact same thing then ya ... it would be a rip... let me know what the diff between the mach 1s and the tokicos that i sent a link of</P>


thanks</P>

ya ur right... thats what it is... i jsut remembered reading it ... but i just got eibach sprotline 2" springs... i might go with the more expensive ones because they could prob handle the drop better.... im gonna look into it though and see if it doesnt make a diff... </P>

but let me just make sure... TOKICO is a good brand that has a good rep and should make a diff over my stock GT shocks/struts that have 58k miles on them in regards to handling etc....?
