new shocks and springs

are coming soon hopefully but I was wondering what brand(s) shocks/struts do yall recommend, koni's monroe, blisten who to go with really has me stumped. A friend of mine just put a set of monroe sensatracs under the back of his foxbody stang with stock springs and he seems happy with them.

and what brand springs do yall recommend eibach maxspeed, once again I'm lost.

Oh yeah about the car 92 RS T-Top car FE1 ALL STOCK suspension at 121xxx miles

Please keep in mind that this car won't be a v6 for long, it's going v8

Re: new shocks and springs

A search might prove helpful, though I doubt you'll come up with anything too conclusive. Monroe struts/shocks usually get a bashing. Top of the line seems to be Bilstien and/or Koni.

Re: new shocks and springs

This has been discussed many times. Many people like the Koni or Bilstein. If $$ is a factor consider KYB (the better ones).

KYB I no longer believe are as good as they once were.

Rebuild the entire suspension, bushings, ball joints and all ang go with bilsteins and Eiback pro kit, u will be happy
