Default suspension

ive been looking into doing shocks and struts for awhile now, mine are pretty wasted and im tired of hearing them rattle around everytime i hit a bump, i was looking on stangsuspention.com and seen that you can buy the stock bullitt shocks and struts for like 350 plus shipping, anyone go this route? and if so how did it work out, are they better than the stock GT's?

Well if you want to make your suspension as versitile as possible you will want to invest in some 12 way adjustables. But if you just want to replace them so they don't rattle check out tokico hp's that's what I have no problems out them after a year.

If you have ratteling over bumps you might want to check out your ball joints.

beat me to it, jack up the front and see how much your wheels move just from your hand wiggling it.
