What struts to use?

smithbuilt24 · November 4th, 2007, 05:15 PM

Have 2003 Mustang gt 5spd and want to replace springs and struts . I am going to use Eibach pro lowering kit. So what should i get or need to get as far as the struts or shocks. Any help would be appreciated.

also need help with what are the best control arms. I was looking at the steeda control arms. Are they worth the money? One of my stock control arms is worn out probrably from me but I need to replace them.

i used the steeda upper and lower control arms.

just get the aluminum ones.

Thanks but what struts would you use or have you used? They are not cheap and this car is a daily driver so I need something that will launch when I need it to but, also need them for regular driving.

i will be getting bilsteins in a month or two ...

i have heard good things about kyb bilstein and pretty much anything aftermarket... i have heard about tokico being pushed to a breaking point but that was on a road rabbit... not a stang

i had tokico illuminas on mine with eibach springs and the ride was nice and you can adjust them for the style driving you want.

I love my Steeda arms, Id look into their springs too. I love mine. I run the Tokico 5 way adjustibles and Ive been happy with them.

I have had both Tokico and Strange adjustables.
The Tokico are nice because you don't have to climb under the car to adjust them, but the Strange are 10 way and allow for more adjustment which is very nice. I have to say I lean towards the Strange 10 ways.
