Supporting Mods for lowered GT

Anyone running Tokico Shocks and Springs?
Hey, I was considering buying the package of tokico shocks and springs from stangsuspension.com. I tried searching, but couldnt find anyone with this package installed. Most people have the eibach springs with tokico dampers. Anyone have feedback good or bad on tokico springs?

I run Tokico shocks with Steeda Sport springs which have me 1" / 1.25" of drop front /rear.
Remember that when you lower the car, you have to realign not just the rear axle, but the front wheels as well. Supporting mods should include an adjustable panhard rod and brace (offered as a package from Steeda - I have these and I like them very very very much) to relocate the rear axle. You will also need a method for adjusting at the very least camber on the front end. Consider camber plates, OR Steeda HD strut mounts (I have these - they allow for camber adjustment and offer a better mount for the front struts which can eliminate the "popping" noise some people experience with aftermarket shocks).
Once you have everything installed, remember to have the car aligned!

Tokico springs tend to be pretty cheap, and in times past we've experienced yielding issues and never know what we're dealing with on spring rates. Basically they are trusting you trust them to do the right thing. I don't. They are not exactly high on my list, but we do sell them. In fact I sell the D-spec/Tokico spring kit for $799 shipped.
But I don't know why you'd want to do that when I can sell you D-specs and Eibach's for pretty much the same price. $768 plus shipping. Shipping would be about $40. So for $9 you have a known commodity in a spring, as well as any setup information you might want from me. Remembering that I ran D-specs for a year on a Shelby GT, which has essentially Pro-kits on it.
