shocks/ struts
im looking into replacing shocks and struts on my 98 gt. ive been looking on ebay at the kyb gr-2 kits going for under 300..and ive also so though about giving the 75 buck lowering springs just because im not sure if id like my car lowered so i could try it cheap. any thoughts ?

RE: shocks/ struts
stay away from fleabay when it comes to suspension. They're cheap for a reason. I bought my car with what looks like standard shocks and a slight lower, and all's well (though one of the shocks is squeaking a bit now). Not sure of the brands on mine, but I'd recommend staying with the bigger names.

RE: shocks/ struts
Go with tokico shocks and struts. They;re 300 bucks shippd and dont go with cheap springs because they're ****. Spring will sag and unevenly drop the car and could kill you if those springs give out. Eibach pro kit is a great ki

RE: shocks/ struts
I too was on a tight budget and didn't want to drop my car a lot. Stangsuspensions.com has great prices. I went with the Ford B springs with poly isolators and tokico blues. I am very satisfied with the improvement. It's much better than stock and it doesn't drop too much so you don't need CC plates with this setup. It cost me right at $515 to my door step. For the price, I don't think you can beat this setup. I take that back, I just realized you have a GT. Call stang suspensions and get the bullit kit. it will give you the best bang for the buck and the customer service there is great. I was able to go with my setup because I already have great sway bars.

Nothings wrong with ebay stuff...... AS long as it is the actual company parts being sold. For example I bought my eibach sportlines off of ebay but they were actually eibach sportlines.
