For the money, I'd rather get a set of Strange 10 way adjustables. Dont get me wrong, my Tokicos work well.... but i wish i had something adjustable so i could loosen up the car on the drag strip!

some are better than others,but mainly your budget usually decides what brand, i always go with the pricier things cause we all know its the american way to get what u pay for. as long as they are adjustable you can make them suit your needs. but a cheapo is better than a worn out one,shock that is,because the more stress you put on those torque boxes the more money your looking to spend from damage due to a minor fix. just price a stang box. i just put one in and they are not cheap. it was one hell of an upgrade though.
