Default Which Shocks/Struts out of these choices?

Hello,
I have a 95 mustang gt convertible which will be lowered around 2 inches. I have dropzone springs, mac c/c plates and looking at getting either kyb or tokico shocks because of the price. I just want to upgrade my factory shocks and need something that will work w/ lowering springs. Not a racer or take corners fast, just need something that will ride better than stock shocks w/ lowering springs. Any recommendations? Trying to do this as cheap as possible- building a new house this year and cant spend very much. I have only put on 8000 miles in 3 years... im up to 50000 original miles now!!

Thanks for any help, T. J.

tokiko would be better, but anything other than stock... if your really strapped go get some stock fox body shocks/struts from the local parts store, their an inch and a half or so shorter than the sn95's and would fit good for what your doing

Alright, thanks mdvaldosta. Thats helps alot. I have heard i could use fox body shock/struts and "get by". Anybody out there actually try this? I can spend around 200 or so on shocks/struts, but basically trying to save as much as possible. If I were to get stock fox body shocks, any recomendations as far as brand name? Thanks for the help, T. J.

I would choose the Tokico's over the KYB's
