Default time for new shocks/struts

alright well guess im gonna be doin the rest of my suspension this fall now..im stuck between two choices tho..im looking through stangsuspension.com and ive narrowed it down to the tokico blue's struts/shocks which come in at 200 for struts and 115 for shocks..or the KYB GR-2 strut/shocks which come in at 150 for struts and 80 for shocks..has any one got the KYB GR-2's on there ride and how do they like them?..also with these ill be running some new lower control arms and i already have my CC plates..havnt decided where i wanna go with my springs yet..

road racing or drag racing? now is the time to decide when deciding suspension.

the tyco GR-2's are supposed to be like the strange engineering adj. i beleive. personally i would reccomend the strange strut/shock combo to anyone. they are amazing. such a huge range of adjustability.

but for the tyco's specifically...no experiance so i have no idea.

also with the control arms, dont forget your uppers as well

well i guess its more towards the road racing?..i mean i dont go to a track much cuz the two i go to are 1 1/2 hours away..so its not a weekly or even monthly thing..i drive it weekends, only when its nice, and honestly ive put about 1500 miles on it since may...my buddy just put the tokico blues on his 95 and i like how it rides...reason im leanin towards these is there not priced real high but they would be steppin up from the 14 year olds on there...being in college right now with not a full time job moneys tight..but i got about 500 comin first of next month..so im lookin to buy a few things..

the strange are similarly priced. but since its not a track warrior you can get away with some basic suspension. you dont need adj. shocks for your ride unless you have bigger plans later. i like adjustables due to the fact you can (for the rare occasion) set up track seettings or road cross setting or street setting in the matter of 1 minute. and they are deff. competatively priced to the KYB's.
