I am looking to replace the shocks and struts on my mustang and would like some suggestions.

It is lowered with bbk springs, sub frame connectors and 17 x 8 wheels. The motor is pretty much stock. I am looking for a decent/good ride and good performance. I am not going to race the car. What are you running out there and how well does it ride on city streets and on the freeway?

Thanks for an input....

I've heard bilstein's ride very stiff or harsh.

have you ever ridden in a car with them?

I have them on my car and would never want anything else on a mustang.

I have never ridden in a mustang with them, but everybody says they are great. As long as they are not too stiff they shoud work fine. I have always ran the monroe formula GP's, but they stopped making them.

koni yellows, you can adjust how stiff or soft you like it.
