you should be fine with the KYB's. it's a good damper that won't break the piggy bank. if it's just a DD, the KYB's will be fine...

I just bought KYB adjustables and they ride great so far I have them set on a medium setting and havnt cranked them up yet but over all they are smooth and have a nice firmness to them that gives that performance feel without bouncing you all around...If your car is lowered I would recommend the ones made for 87-93 fox bodies since they are shorter

yeah thanks for the input. the more i look at the KYB's the more i like them. I noticed you have the H&R SS springs. Got any pics you can upload with them on your car??

yeah i think im debating between KYB and Strange. They both seem really nice for a pretty reasonable price. They both are priced the same. How is the ride quality. I know you said you like them but can you give me a little more detail?

yeah i saw those. those are a little more then i want to pay. although they aren't completely out of the question yet. it all depends how much money i can get before i put on the springs and such.
