Default shocks and struts

So as mentioned before i have my new tires/wheels on the way as well as eibach pro kit. Now im looking at shocks and struts.. does anyone have the eibach shocks and struts? The other brand i was looking at was the Tokico D-spec ajustables. Any input would be greatly appreciated as usual =D

Whatever shocks and struts you decide to go with, get fox body parts with your car being lowered. I wasnt informed of this until after everything was already on the car and making noise. But Id just go with the tokicos. They seem to be freakin awesome parts man.

I have the tokico 16 way adjustables and love them.. They are more for autocrossing and stuff like that.. You can drag with them but you wont get the weight transfer like you would with like the illuminas or lakewoods stuff like that.. But if your just looking to take some turns faster want to handle better and have a stiffer ride they are for you..

You mean get the fox struts rite? Or do you mean fox springs cause the weight transfer will be better and you will get more lift?

No, get the fox body shocks and struts. The stroke is shorter...like 5 inches instead of 5.88 inches for 99-04 cars...so you wont bottom out your shocks and struts like mine do.
