Default SUSPENSION WHAT TO DO?

I need new front struts/rear shocks. But truely want good handeling and a good price. Is the sensatrac just a oem stock replacement.? KYB, Tokico??? which is the best bang for the buck and handling for my daily driver/1/4mile non adjustable

Rear upper/lower control arms hotchkis sells them for $400, MAC $225.00 Are they the same quality, is hotchkis just over inflatted prices??

jesus ****in christ... wut part of OTHER THREAD didnt click w. you? seriously... theres no need for 3 identical threads.

dude, bottom line, go adjustable, get the strange 10 ways, there a good price and a GREAT product and adjusting them is very easy and there isnt anything to **** up... its just a little ****in **** that adjusts stiffness, they go to basically locked down for excellent handling, to loose as **** for drag racing... trust me, and look into them! ask ppl here wut they think, a few of us run them and NO ONE complains.... if you dont want adjustablitiy and wanna waiste money then go get some damn stock replacements from autozone, **** it, its not my car [:@]

strange engineering makes the struts/shocks. there called their strange 10 way adjustables. google strange engineering, or for that matter use our search and see all the stuff about them. also check out other forums as well, alot of mustang guys run them, and ive never seen any bad comments about them, there awesome for drag racing AND handling, because of there adjustability

Didnt come here to argue just get some solid advice from people that may have used the products I am asking about. Hotchkis is used on all the overhaulin shows and i have never heard a complaint about them but MAC offers them alot cheaper just wondering why such a price difference for the same thing unless the craftsmanship is junk or the bushings are ****? wish someone knew
