Default Tokico shocks

I had the steeda lowering springs installed and I was aware of the fact that the dampening wouldn't be right and didn't thinkg much of it untill today when I was heading down a hill and after I hit the dip the car shocks very clearly compressed fully. I realized I need to fix something and was wondering if any of you have experience with this set and how much the install was and how much of a difference they made in handling as well as firming up the suspension.

I installed my Tokico shocks it was a very easy install all you need is a set of spring compressors. Tokico tells you how to set up the shocks for road racing or the strip. The ride can be set to very firm to a softer ride. I myself prefer the firmer ride because the car can handle a curb with no lean at all. For me it was the best investment I have made for the handling of the car. If you have lowered your car IMO it is a must to have them.

Here is where I got mine from http://www.stangsuspension.com/store...=146&curPage=3
