Default question

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??

Eibach springs are good...just be ready for a long night when you install them. It looks easier than it is. You're gonna have to have patience, instead of being like me when I did mine and abandon all hope half way through, then find something that made it easier and then getting it done the next evening after you moped around all day and slept for like an hour. Please don't make that mistake.

Other thn that, good luck.

The springs are difficult to install at times and you get to yell out some pretty good words. lol The shocks/struts are pretty easy to install though.

I don't know about those shocks/struts. I have the Mach 1 Tokico's. They are pretty good. I would say that those are pretty good too[8D]. lol

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
