Which shocks/struts to get?


So im looking for new shocks and struts to replace my stockers. On stangmods they have a Mach1 package and on AM they have Tokico HP Series. Both set-ups are at a decent price but non adjustable. Will these work fine with my H&R SS springs or do I need adjustable shocks/struts? Keep in mind im not tryin to break the bank. Thanks!

I really like those Bilstein heavy duty shocks. Is it ok to mix and match brands? Maybe Bilstein shocks and Tokico 5 ways adj. struts. Sounds like a killer mix to me.

I currently have the Tockico Hp's and they're really good.The handling and ride quality were comparable to the stock tokicos mine came with so...eh. I dont see a need in adjustables unless you plan on hitting the strip. Waste of money IMO. Get Bilstein if you plan on dishing out that type of cash for a replaceable part.
