Which Struts/Shocks should I buy? I have been changing my mind from the Tokico 5-Way Adjustables and the Bilstein HD Package.

I'd recommend Strange 10way adjustable shocks/struts. Haven't heard much about the others but I love the adjustables...

both are good shock/strut combos so i dont think u can wrong with either. those strange s/s are pretty cheap and i hear good things about em. i have tokico d-specs and like em alot. dunno how strange s/s adjust, but on my d-specs its right at the top and comes with a small tool to spin them to hard or soft.

Any adjustable shock/strut will be good for your car. You never know when you will need to change the stiffness like when you go to the track and then whenyou drive the car home will be 2 different settings.

What springs do you have on your car? The bilstein HD's are designed for a better ride w/ stock springs, but will work w/ lowered cars. MM makes some that are race valved and matched to their H&R springs.

Is it going to be a daily or track car?
