Default Aftermarket shocks/struts?

Are there any other companies that are making shocks/stuts for the new stang besides tokico? The shocks are leaking on mine and I don't feel like paying the $47 a piece that the dealer wants for them if there's a chance that they could start leaking again. I don't really care if they are adjustable or not. Thanks.

Saleen, Roush, Eibach all make Shocks/strutrs/dampers for the new stangs, but i doubt they will be 47$ a piece. They will probably be alot more than that

Since you have an 05 aren't you under warranty?

I unfortunately put lowering springs on the car after I knew that it was leaking. I thought I could just go down to autozone and buy a new shock to replace it for $30. Autozone told me they don't even have a listing for the shock since the car is so new. Any lowering spring voids the warranty on all of the suspension.I know that any aftermarket shock is going to be a lot more than the $47, but I want a good aftermarket shock that won't leak. I was looking at the ford racing ones, but heard a lot of bad stuff about them. I will probably just end up going with the tokicos since they have a lifetime warranty.
