What up peoples,
I need some help on deciding if I should buy a new set of shock, struts and quad shocks. I hope that by doing this my car which has Eibach's sport line springs (that lowered my over 2 inches) will some what raise my car a little or at least not be so "bumpy". On the other hand doesn't a car need to get the shocks and struts replaced after 50,000 + miles? Oh yeah what do you guys think of the price for the 6piece kit (shocks,struts,quad's) $309.95 from Texas Mustang the kits is KYB. Thanks for input.

your could raise it a bit just by changing springs...i have eibach pro-kit and it only dropped about 1 1/2" as for the bumpy ride, you're gonna have that with most aftermarket springs, cause they are generally stiffer. Also I just did my shocks awhile ago, at about 55000 or so and the quad shocks were shot. but you can usually tell when you're driving if the shocks need to be replaced. i'm not too sure how kyb's will be as far as performance......

Put the KYB's in it will help alot. My01stang has the sportline kit and he put the Premiums on to me the ride feels just as good if not better then the whole stock setup. I also have the sportlines I'm going to put in the AGX adjustiables. There $419 from sacramentomustang.

check out shox.com they've got the cheapest prices on KYB, Tokico, Koni, and bilstien. I'd suggest the adjustable koni's, they're expensive(that's why I don't have em), but they're a good shock, and you can adjust them to get rid of that bumpy ride, or make them real stiff.

I have the Bilstein sport shocks and struts from Maximum Motorsports and love them. Gotta love the lifetime warranty also.
