New Shocks and Struts
My ride quality is HORRID, on a new 95 that I just bought. I know that I need new shocks and struts. Has anyone gotten any recently and been happy? I know I should wait until I get the lowering kit to get new shocks and struts, I just want some opinions...
Also, do I replace shocks and struts? What's the difference, what do I have...

RE: New Shocks and Struts
i guess it depends on money, how much u going to spend? do u want adjustables or non? are u a drag racer or corner carver? or do u just want some cheap ones to replace em now? this is what u should ask urself.
i had tokico blues when i 1st got my car. ride was nice, but i knew i would want some adjustables later. i switched to tokico d-specs. im very happy with them! i also had konis, but that was on my last car (contour svt) theyre were awesome!!

Adjustables would be nice, tirerack.com has a great selection. I would like to eventually autoX my car a bit, but I don't have a lot of cash. How do you adjust your front struts??

its real ez. no going under the car, just pop ur hood and trunk. the kit comes with a tool and it adjust at the top of the shock/strut. in the trunk it has those side covers that u have to take out, but i just plan on putting a hole in em. that way i dont have to take it all apart. my koni's were the same way.
