shocks

ok. I know for a fact that my rear shocks are shot. So I plan on getting the Tokico HP Series Rear Shock form AM while there still on sale. Are these a good deal and worth it?

Second. Is there any visual or physical way to tell if the front shocks are shot? Cause I can't really tell lol. If they are, what would you recommend for the front.

Yes, good pieces. Just get the same for the front. If the rears are shot the fronts are either there too or on their way.

ok cool. Quick question. When ordering there. Are those a set of 2 or just one? doesn't really state clearly. Looks like one to me.

EDIT: NVM, there individual

any one got any information on how well these struts are. I'm looking for good, but budget friendly for the front struts.

I've never used those KYBs, but I can assure you that you won't be disappointed with the Tokico shocks and struts. I've been running them for nearly a year and love them

Mach Stang · February 28th, 2011, 06:53 AM

yeah I keep hearing good things about them. I may just end up dishing an extra 100 buck for the Tokico struts.

03stanggg · February 28th, 2011, 11:20 AM

yea id get both the shocks and struts. any plans to lower it? its better to do the shocks/struts and springs all at one time to save time/money.

Mach Stang · February 28th, 2011, 11:30 AM

I was thinking that. How odd would it look to lower it with stock wheels?

03stanggg · February 28th, 2011, 12:25 PM

This is how mine looks

I have a 1.2" drop. And my sig below is before the drop.

I haven't heard the best things about KYB, some things you get what you pay for. I'd get the blues all around.

NorCalWhtHrse · February 28th, 2011, 05:49 PM

get the tokicos

Mach Stang · February 28th, 2011, 06:21 PM

going blue and springs will wait. Shocks are first and then struts in a few weeks

SALEEN961 · February 28th, 2011, 06:30 PM

I don't know how well built the KYB struts for Mustangs are but I have a set on my 89 Probe and they started out extremely stiff which I loved but after a few weeks they had softened up so much that they were hardly worth buying to replace my stock 21 year old struts.

KYBs will get you down the road, but if you get them in the end you'll wish you had bought the Tokicos

Mach Stang · February 28th, 2011, 08:00 PM

Shocks ordered. Tokico Struts down the road in a few weeks. Thanks for the information on the KYB's
