I have Bilsteins and I'm very pleased with them.

I'd ditch the Pro Kit for H&Rs, get some Bilsteins and FLSFCs....

Oh wait, that's what I did....

i use tokico's on my car (98gt) and its quite nice, you can really feel the road. i havent felt the kyb's but i have no regrets about my tokico struts. the ability to stiffen of soften them really helps.

Heres what i have done so far, and am still doing.

Most of this has been done ON BUDGET. im a college student and cant afford a mm grip box like some of the older ppl on here.. lol gimmie like 5 yrs on that.

Bullitt shocks and struts/aka tokico
Roush lower control arms
J&M Full Length subframe connectors
Eibach front and rear sway bar kit
Ford "C" springs
Kenny Brown strut tower brace
FRPP aluminum drivshaft
4.10s
MAYBE a mm panhard bar in the future

these are all relatively inexpensive parts but are good quality. this is like $1500~ worth of mods and are GREAT for a corner carver, or just an all around fun car to drive. i wouldnt take my car to the 1/4 track tho.. im sure it would be ok..but its geared more towards auto-x and road racing
