Just a couple of weeks ago I finally had my Steeda sport springs put on my 02, and my car is just starting to squeak a little bit, and I figure its now a good time to get my shocks and struts. I'm not looking for anything too firm, Its mostly just a daily driver that needs a little bit more control than the stock set up. Also, how much should I be looking to spend? Any help would be great. Thanks

You could go with the KYB if you don’t want to spend that much $$. Texas Mustang or Dallas Mustang (can’t recall) has them for $300.00 the set of struts/shocks and quad shocks.

I wouldn't reccomend KYB eric.

I'm probably looking towards the tokico illumina 5 way adjustable, but I'm not sure. I'm hoping for some other opinions.

If this is for the car you have listed in your sig (02 GT), I highly doubt that you need new shocks/struts, unless you have very high miles on the car or they are defective. Who installed them (you or shop)? Did they re-install the spring isolators? Without them, cars can sqeak.
I would take a look at that first.

If you are still adamant on getting struts/shocks and you mentioned that it is for a daily driver, you probably would not want to spend the $ for Koni's, rather get Tokico's, which are a bit cheaper and not as harsh of a ride as the KYB's.
Also check out this post (the one before yours):

shocks?Bilstein/Tokico?
Good Luck
