Go with the Tokicos. They are the closest you'll get to the Bilsteins, but for a fraction of the cost. Plus they perform great. I have the gas blue tokico shocks and struts, and I love them.

i just got some kyb for my 5.0. put them in over the weekend. struts too. this is my first experience with them, but i love the handling power. maybe it's just because i was used to the stock suspension with all the horsepower load on it, and also being the original after 128k miles. blistein is probably the best for longetivity. kyb is more of a racing shock i would say.

ok thanks for the replies.im leaning towards tokico or kyb's.when they say they re adjustable do they mean you can switch from a street setup to a track setup?i dont really know much about suspension.
