Shocks?

[Karnick_GT]

Since I'm tired of all the 4x4 comments thrown my way, one of the projects this winter is to FINALLY lower the car. I already have Eibach prokit springs and poly iso's but I want to do this once and will replace the struts and shocks while I'm down there. I am looking at either KYB GR-2 or Tokico HP Blues. Does anyone have any pros or cons for either?

many thanks!!!

I just bought the Tokico Kit for my wife's 2000 GT. It included the Tokico Struts, shocks and springs. I am finally installing them this weekend since her C/C plates finally arrived. I put a couple of sets on some friends cars and they love the way it handles now. YOu can't go wrong with Tokicos.

You could pick up some factory Bilsteins low mileage off a 03-04. Great shock.

Tokico shocks are good. I had adjustable Koni's on my '96 Cobra and loved them. :thumbsup: My '03 Cobra has stock springs and shocks. Just like you, I would like to lower it but as a daily driver I already scrape on some roads and parking lot entrances. Just today I was enjoying some spirited driving on Rt. 401 in Chester Co. and scraped the Magnaflow catted X pipe on a dip. Everytime that happens I cringe! I would like to go to an adjustable shock and set it to firm. I wonder if that would help to prevent scraping at speed on back roads?
