Best struts and shocks for an '01

Barricade81 · February 5th, 2011, 11:18 PM

Ok I'm looking at getting new struts and shocks for my '01, but I'm pretty ignorant on what's really the best ones to get. Basically money is no object here, so I'm looking to get the best strut and shock setup I can find.

I already have H&R Super Sport springs on mine right now. But I've definately been on the stock parts long enough and need to change over to something better.

Koni's seem to be a big name that I've heard of before, but I was wondering if there are any better, or just as good, choices as theirs. Any of you guys have Koni's on your New Edge V6s? Their website lists a few different options for my '01, anywhere from $204 per pair, all the way to a $612 front and $512 rear pair. Over $1000 obviously, but again, money is no object here. Anyone think they'd be worth that price?

How about Tokico? I see Americanmuscle has an adjustable kit on their website, but I'd never heard of Tokico before, so I wasn't sure. I also saw an Eibach kit that looked similar. Any thoughts of those?

Is there a certain brand or setup I didn't mention that you would recommend for mine to go along with the H&R springs? I'm not going to a coil over setup by the way. I'm just looking for the best struts and shocks for now.

Anyone? Buehler? Buehler?

I hear Eibach is better than Tokico, but I love my Tokico blues although I'm still on stock springs for a while longer.

They dont make adjustable bilstiens. However I did just get bilstiens, and they are awesome.

SON1C · February 10th, 2011, 10:45 AM

Mr. Red Pony · February 10th, 2011, 11:56 AM

Koni, Tokico, Eibach, Bilstien, Strange, QA1, Lakewood, and one other that I can never remember the name of..

Research those brands.

Thanks for the tips guys. I'm leading towards Koni's based on the research I've made so far, but I don't think I'll go wrong with any of them. I do want adjustables though, so that takes Bilstein's out of it if they don't have any adjustables.
