I just picked up some shocks/struts:

Front: Used Bilstein Struts from '03 Cobra Coupe= ~$125
Rear: New Bilstein HD Shocks from Stangsuspension.com = ~$150

Top quality shocks and struts for ~$300, that match up perfectly w/ the Bullitt springs I put all around for $100.

Tokico blues are supposed to be good for stock-rate springs, though, so those aren'ta bad way to go either.

Here you go!

They also price match. If you can find these on ebay, they will match it. I found them on ebay for $290 shipped so they matched that for me.

I just bought a 2000 6cyl, and the shocks and struts are shot. I ordered a few today, and am going to put them on tommarrow evening, any advice? I haven't done struts in YEARS.
Thanks
