Steeda or Tokico HP Strut/Shocks?
My car currently has the Brembo package, Eibach Pro-kit springs, GT500 strut mounts, and a J&M adj panhard bar. I need some shocks/struts to round everything out.
I wanted Koni STR.T's but the struts appear to be sold out everywhere I look (stranoparts, americanmuscle, Summit).
So the Steeda's and Tokico's are roughly the same price at the low-$400 range.
Which would you have? I'm leaning toward Steeda for the lifetime warranty and I hear the ride with the Tokico's can be pretty rough.

Well ... that was easy. Let us know how the install goes and what you think of the product.
We appreciate your business and let me know if I can help assist with anything at tim@steeda.com.
Best Regards,
TJ

Granted the streets of LA suck, but the ride is very harsh, even dialed fully soft.
I was fortunate enough to go to a track school last weekend where they used '13 Boss Mustangs. My school car had Koni's with Eibach springs - it had none of the harshness I've been living with and handled like a dream. True, a track doesn't have the road irregularities we have with the street, but damn it was sweet. Almost made me want to trade my car in for a Boss!
I also have Shelby track LCA's on my car which don't help - there's literally NO cushion on those things and they are just obnoxious on the street. No wonder Shelby had them on sale. I have FR track pack LCA's coming in a couple days - maybe I'll like the Tokico's better once those are installed. I'll let you know.

If non-adjustables are what you are after, I'd recommend the Koni STR.T (still on sale BTW for $340 a set). Lifetime warranty, and Koni has excellent warranty service which some others with "lifetime warranties" do not really have.
