Default Shocks advice for a newbie.

Hello guys i bought my mustang a few months ago and all the shocks are worn out, mi car has 89k on it. I have a really tight budget and i might going to buy some ebay shocks but i was wondering if there is something out there (better than stock) that can cost the same or a little bit more than those ebay shocks.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/STAGG-4-NEW-SHOCKS-STRUTS-FORD-MUSTANG-2005-2010-/131117424328?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A2006%7CModel%3AMustang&hash=item1e87351ec8&vxp=mtr
They are 135 for all the 4.

Or maybe i should go for the autozone shocks ?
i really need an advice and i dont have a lot of money and my caballito (my mustang's name which means pony or little horse :P) needs the shocks really bad.

Thank you for your time and patience i really appreciate it

Take a look on the web, some positive reviews re Stagg. I've no experience with and before now never heard of them. Do some price shopping, but for $135, if their good, that is IMO very cheap. Good luck.

I wouldnt buy those. I think when parts are that cheap they tend to break soon. I would look into spending the correct amount of money for a quality product that will work good and last. last time i checked KYB is ok.

Don't go to Autozone, NAPA or O'Reiley's are much better. Koni orange would be my choice.

Since your on a tight budget try Monroe shocks. You can get them cheap on a sight like rockauto.com and the quality is pretty good for what you pay.

Call a few Mustang shops, if there are any around your area, & ask if they have some new take offs. I used to have about three complete sets of new Ford pickup shocks in my own garage that were take offs from my trucks. Only cost you a few phone calls & they ought to sell them dirt cheap. Make them a lowball offer! I agree that Monroe shocks aren't bad for inexpensive! Bilstein if you get rich!
