Looking for new shocks and struts

I am looking to replace the shocks and struts on my 91 bird and am looking for something in a mild performance application. Would like to spend less then 250 for front and back. Any suggestions?

I just installed the KYB GR-2's on mine.It made a nice difference.They aren't top of the line,but they are better than OE and should keep you under your budget.My car is a lot firmer around curves,yet bumps and dips,etc. aren't as bad anymore as before.

Check out www.shox.com, they'll even send you a quote with many different brands. Also, tirerack.com has the best price I've seen on KYBs, it should total less than $150. Good luck.

Shox are a good place to get them! =) I sent them a e-mail about year ago and if I remember right they had a good deal on a set of Konis even
