Default shocks/struts lowered car

well i'v been dumping pretty much all my money into the fox lately and i want to tend to my widdle guy... and it needs shocks and struts BAD. its been lowered 1.2" all around for over a year and the shocks and struts have been noisy the whole time and they're about to go out. Are there shocks and struts made for a lowered 05'? if so can you give me a link? Thanks.

We just put a set of Tokico D-specs on the Mistress a couple of weeks ago... love them! My car is lowered just under an inch... I had a bad case of the front end clunk which is now gone!!!

The D-spec are "infinitely" adjustable meaing you just don't have 5 or 6 clicks... you get like 7 or 8 complete turns... I've got them set pretty firm and I like it that way... very very easy to adjust... basically a 3mm allen wrench... turn until you find what you like...

I got mine lightly used... LOL
