Also Tokico's are good but run just under the Koni's in price. If I was you I would get the Koni's or Tokico's, It lets you adjust them to what you want. -------------------- 03 Cobra...

I love my Bilstiens but for the 1/4 I'd say adjustable Koni or Tokico's.

BBK specific rate springs are not the best for drag racing...Depending on how serious you are about drag racing, you might want to consider a better suited spring.. Struts/shocks are calibrated to certain spring rates...Its best to use compatable struts/shock and springs.. -------------------- -SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT- Posts: 5132 | From: Bay Area, CA | Registered: Dec 2001  |  : cobraman_1994 ¯ Member # 467 posted                              i know that they rnt the best for drag racing, but mi not buliding a total race car here. that lifted look of mustangs with full drag suspension is something i wanted to avoid at all costs. if it means a couple tenths, then oh well but thanks for the info everyone -------------------- 86 GT Posts: 4882 | From: eldorado hills | Registered: Sep 2001  |  : Roush3 ¯ Member # 2638 posted                              I agree Koni shocks are the way to go -------------------- 2002 Roush stage 3 Posts: 49 | From: Fremont | Registered: Mar 2003  |  :
