opinions on what BRAND OF SHOCKS for me


I lowered my stang 1.5" and the spring i used were stemi sport. Stiffer than stock but still compfortable ride. no my fatory shocks need replaced im bouncing all over the road. I want a stiff ride but not jaw chattering. I have 18" rims so there is a loss of coushion there. by the way what the largest size tires i can fit in front and in the back.
Here are some brands i was looking at thats around my price range let me know which you think would be better for me.

TOKICO HP = $305

KYB 4 GR2 = $185

MONROE SENSA TRAC = $214

Most people here will probably recommend Tokico.

I went with Tokico and haven't had any regrets about the price.

This if you have the money, as its the best way to go.

I have the Tokico HP's and they're great. I also have about the same lowering as you and same size wheels.

As far as largest tire, we'll need to know the width of your wheels.
