Default What Shocks/struts?

I have no idea about what is out there or where to begin, so i need a little guidance. I have an '03 GT with Steeda Competition Springs. My car has 80,000 miles on it so i was thinking it was time to replace/upgrade the suspension. Which pieces should i go with? thanks for any guidance!

depends what your looking for. better ride, or traction. billsteins are all around good shocks/struts. lakewood are good drag shocks/struts. strange are a good adjustable shock/strut.i have tokico 5 way adjustable shocks and struts. the car rides pretty good and i can also pulla decent 60ft with my set up at the track

Daily driver wanting a smooth ride but can handle great and performance? Gabriel Ultra's from autozone. About $200 for all 4 with a lifetime warranty. They are the same thing as tokico.

Mine is just going to be a cruiser.

I'v'e got 1 1/2" Hawks lowering springs, getting CHE LCA's in the mail soon, got Ford Racing UCA's, I will be getting KYB GR2 struts and shocks here pretty soon.

I just want to freshen things up at 105K here.
