KYBs don't have the rep that Koni or Tokicos do, but they'll work fine for street driving. Definately an improvement over the stockers.

KYB's are the cheapest of aftermarket shocks, but still perform much better then stock shocks. I have Tokico HP's which are more performance oriented and they work great. Those will set you back $290 on stangsuspension.com. That is a very good deal. Check them out. http://stangsuspension.com/store/com...?idproduct=937
