Default Which strut/shock combo are you running?

Id be interested to know what a majority of you guys are running. I'm probably gonna go with either SR springs or the eibach pro kit, with either tokico or koni strt struts/springs. I know yellows are the way to go but it's out of my price range.
If you've been able to compare the tokicos with the koni strts, what did you experience? I wanna do this the right way, on my previous stang i had just eibach pro's and the ride comfort wasn't excellent. However, the removed wheel gap and cornering was much improved.
What are you guys running, and how do you like it?

Orange Koni Strts have been on my car about 4 years now, very happy with them. Rest of suspension is stock and not lowered.

I have had Steeda Sports, Steeda HD strut mounts and Koni srt shocks for about a year and a half now and am very pleased. Car is so much better. Very good ride and handling, it's a good choice if your on a buget and it"s pretty easy to do yourself.

Koni Yellows and Steeda Comp springs! That lowered it about .75" in front and about 1" in rear. I really like the combo!

Firmed up the handling without adversely affecting the ride quality.
