the bilsteins will probably cost more than your car is worth.

you can get them on ebay for a little less than $600, whereas the monroe's will be less than $200. I would go with the monroes on a stock mustang, it's not like you're gonna take it to the road course and race it. especially if you care about the cost as a factor.

I have kyb agx, and they are ok, I don't have too much to compare it too. better than stock. if all you want to do is lower the stang and have a decent ride, you won't really gain anything with super-expensive shocks and struts.

Let me break it down for you...KYB do the job to a certain extent..for bigger bumps they will feel like crap....whereas when you get the TOP brand like BILSTEIN you will be golden on any and every bump etc

Its a matter of what you want...just to pay as little as possible to get what you want...or save for the best and never have to worry about them
