Default 2004 Mustang GT - Shocks and Struts

Hi Everyone,

I am already installing MM caster camber plates for my 2004 Mustang GT (5spd), so since my car has over 76000 miles now, I figured i'd replace the shocks and struts too. Anyone have any suggestions on what brand of shocks and struts to get? What has worked well for you?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan

Yes there is lots of good info out there. But seeing how you still will have questions I will ask: What kind of driving are you going to be doing? (Drag racing, twisties, AX, DD, casual driving etc.)

Bilsteins will do the trick.

Bilsteins would do the trick but could be MAJOR overkill depending on his driving needs and habits.

Tokicos I recommend if going cheap but good quality. A little better would be kyb. I have the kyb fully adjustable shocks and struts and love being able to change the settings with a quick twist of the ****.

do you have to be followed through every thread? so tell me why bilsteins are overkill or is that just another recycled comment? you give a lot of bad info on things you have zero experience in. just do everyone a favor and stop.
