Default (Tokico HP) or (KYB GR-2) ??????

just bought a 93 Mustang GT 5.0 .... car is in Imaculate condition inside and out... except for under lol car spent a good bit of time in PA up north and the underbody has some rust... suspension is completely shot. need to replace shocks/struts/springs asap....

its my dads car and dont want to spend thousands of dollars replacing components just to get the car safe enough for 300+ hp. just want a nice street car thats fun to drive.... found shocks/struts on ebay for less than $200 shipped... either Tokico HP or KYB GR-2.....

Which should I go with??? would like to drop the car 2" as well .... anyone know of some inexpensive springs that has a good 2" drop???

picts ....

Plan on a good set of caster camber plates, that's first thing to do suspension wise. KYBs are pretty good for the price in my opinion. I'm still running them up front but I've got strange 10 ways in the back now.

IDK about what springs to get, im not one to drop foxes.
