They ROCK!!! Love the adjustability of them from street to track to pregnant wife. :-) The handling with all the susp parts in my sig is like night and day. Car is riding on rails around turns and at excessive speeds also. Car used to float at 130mph+ where it would make me slow down, now I'm hitting 150 - 155mph and the car is solid on the road. Love 'em...

I have Eibach Pro Kit springs and have been waiting a little bit to get the TokicoD-spec shocks/struts. Now that I have heard all this great reviews about it I want to order mine ASAP. Can those of you that have purchased them tell me where you bought and how much you bought them for. Thanks a bunch.

I got mine here, http://www.motorsportsdirect.com/ for $529. You can also get them from Brenspeed at http://www.brenspeed.com/mustang_2005/suspension.html for $539. I would've bought them from Brent when I got my CAI and XCAL2 but he was out and didn't know when he'd get more in. I pretty sure he has them back in stock now.

Did you unscrew the top cap just like the back ones or only remove the red rubber piece on top? The red rubber piece stays there and you unscrew the cap. Then insert the key.

Check ebay. I just got brand new Tokicos for $477. They'll be coupled with Steeda Ultralites.

For those do-it-yourselfers out there, did it take a ridiculously long time to torque the upper fasteners on the rear struts? I keep going and going, but 30ft-lbs eludes me.

Most of the suspension fasteners are 1 time use onlyaccording to Ford if you cant achieve the proper torque got to the dealer and order new nuts/bolts

Wow haney is less by a lot thx for the link save me some money for change

The shaft was turning inside the outer shaft that the nut screws on, you have to hold the inner shaft with an open end wrench before you can acheive the 30ft/lb.
Installed my D-Specs last weekend along with the Eibach pro-kit, dont hesitate to get them!!! there is a seat of the pants difference in ride and handling. Lot of money to drop but I'm glad I did. You wont be sorry.
