RE: adjustable suspension or not?
I dunno if they are the best. I have that combo and I'm happy with it and would recommend it. you won't get a huge drop in height, so you'll bottom out and scrape on fewer driveways and speed bumps than springs with a bigger drop, but it'll definitely be noticeable, handling and looks-wise.

RE: adjustable suspension or not?
damn shadow that car is sinister looking! BLACK STANGS FTMFW!
I personally have steeda sport springs and tokico illumina shocks/struts (adjustable 5ways)... I'm pretty much in the same boat as you....ive had the car 2 years and gone to the track three times....but still, like mentioned above, it IS kinda cool to play around with the settings once in a while if you feel like you're gonna be corner carving....
I live next to hartford CT and often drive up to Boston Mass (GO BRUINS!/RED SOX!) and its nice to be able to set the car for a nice cushy ride since its all highway cruising for two to three hours depending on traffic....

stangatic, I would get a refund on those qa1, they might be great qaulity on theoutside but they are **** shocks. They will blow just in time to not be covered under the warranty, they also ride TERRIBLE in any setting. Trust me, I had the whole setup also, 12 way adjustable backs and 10 ways adjustable fronts and they suck ***. Biggest waste of money I have ever spent, I now have bilstein and can't really complain. I would go with non adjustable, they ride better and handle better also. Go with bilstein, can't go wrong.

if money is not an issue, I can't think of any reason to get non-adjustables. you can definitely feel your car's ride change when you click the *****. I don't think ride height has any bearing on whether or not you should go with adjustables or not. I have the KYB AGX with ford C springs, and I'd recommend them to anyone.

And for under 400 for a complete set of shocks/struts strange 10 ways FTW!

+1, makes a massive difference with just a few clicks. I see no reason NOT to get adjustables unless you just cannot afford it.
