thanks to all above! yeah, this is mainly a street car. i might hit a drag strip once in a blue moon although not going to be often enough to focus on strip products over street products! appreciate it - especially you sweger, haha.

yeah. theres so many options... its tough to choose, especially since im not extremely knowledgeable about the different suspension components and options and there respective pros and cons for our cars. the basic thing ive been hearing/looking at is that anything is better than what i have now, haha.

Something else to look into is whether that specific kit will lower the car enough to need caster/camber plates for proper alignment.

teej, ive heard c/c plates are a must for anything 2 inches or lower. those say 1.5 inches. so its probably not necessary, but probably not a bad idea to have them either....

I have this same package i think. Except my springs are red. They are tokico as well though..

I LOVE my tokico HP's... Read in the other thread for my opinion... I dont want to type it again.

I highly recommend a package like this though..
i got the same ones as you and love mine awesome for the corners for a street car that is. Mine were $379 shipped to my door (about a year and half ago) from ebay but again red springs with same stocks not sure difference though.

It seriously rides like a dream IMO.. The best of both worlds. Performance when i take a turn hard, and I can still cut a 2.0 at the track on street tires with this suspension (shoulda been a 1.9 but i missed it by .005!), and it takes bumps and holes perfectly. It's stiff, yet comfortable... I recommend it for a daily driver

I ahve been complimented by many people about how nice my car rides. Doesn't feel like you are going fast. 75 feels like 40. 40 feels like 25 lol

I went from a stock v6 mustang suspension to my GT with the tokico package (as well as a couple other things like FLSFC's, X brace, Sway bar, etc), but its night and day difference.

Just do it bopiela.

I will tell you this bopiela, my car has the eibach prokit installed on it with stock caster/camber plates and the alignment shop just barely got it into the acceptable range and it could have used caster/camber plates but i decided to leave the UPR's off and try to sell them. In the acceptable range works for me and by the time i need another alignment, i'll have coilovers and c/c plates installed so no worries then. Just thought it would be something worth pointing out that my car is lowered only 1.4 inches and it could use a set.
