Default RE: shocks/springs

I Did my full Roush Suspension and CC Plates in Under 2 Hours with some help from a kid in the class. I took mine to my old Tech school and asked him and he said i had all PM Class to do it.

Your shocks struts will be fine. Leave em for now. Wont ride AS nice but wont hurt

Where did you read the feedback? Everyone I have talked to likes their Tokico's. They are fairly priced for what you are getting. I like my Tokico's, they are a big improvement over stock.

Do they make KYB's for the V6? They are a pretty good brand of shock/struts and they are tight handling too.
a couple places and the majority of people who rated the 'tokico hp shocks' didn't say good things they actually had to take them off

Anyonehave experience with thesehttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/KYB-G...2em118Q2el1247
?


I ordered Eibach pro kit springs


Less than 40,000 miles on my current shocks...
Do I replace the shocks or get new ones?


The real question is.. are the stock mustang shocks able to handle the springs??
Maybe another 10K and you're gona wear em out eventually. Those KYBs look like a great deal
and my boy got some from those guys and they had a great customer service. Yes those shocks will do it but and improve the overall performance of the car and give you that smooth feeling! As far as install took me about 45 minutes for the back because of the damn bump stop lol and I did front myself and took me about 2 to 2 1/2 hrs.

i was always told it is a good rule of thumb to upgrade your shocks/struts when lowering your car. i dont know about on stangs, but ive seen quite a few imports (my old domestic 4 banger, too) blow their stock shocks with the stiffer springs. but, your mustang may be fine. just my .02.
