Suspension Question....(struts)????


OK guys i just ordered Ford C Springs . Now i know i dont need CC plates but what about struts? I was gonna buy monroe sensa track shocks and struts there 5 bucks more than KYB so im leaning towards those. I should have a comfortable ride with that right?

It will be rough (depending on your struts condition) but since youll have everything out might as well. Id get tokico if you want a good cheap strut.

You're gonna have a rough ride with C springs pretty much no matter what struts and shocks you have

Tokico HPs are nice. I have them on my car (not lowered yet) and it rides much nicer than the 10 year old stockers that were on there before

I Literally just put C springs and Monroe shocks and struts on. That's all you need. If you Use ISO, you won't get much of a drop.

Just to clarify. I put on 'B' springs. So the 'C' springs might ride rough.
