I Need Shocks!!

My 93 5.0 still has the orignal shocks and they need to be replaced, i don't rag on it and its only street driven every now and then. Any suggestions? I don't need real fancy adjustable ones......

I have KYB's and they seem quite nice, though I've also heard good things about the Monroe Sensatrac shocks as well................

whoa...they way you wrote that with the exclamation marks made me think you blew apart a shock and need one tomorrow lol. i've just got some used ones of my buddies old 30,000km LX coupe and they've worked great for me. my irginal ones were starting to go after about 225,000km....so i guess my replacemnts now have about 100,000kms on them lol

I'm on my Second set of KYBs (Gas a justs) in only a year, life time warranty yes, but replace the damn things every 3 montsh ... no way.

One vote Against KYBs here.

I just installed Moreo's in my 88GT and they are working great, the car is also a street ride for me but it is a daily driver. I also had these shocks installed on my 90 Notch with great resaltes and that car was also running the Pro Kit springs and they held up great.

I've got Koni's in my '85 (with 93 suspension and brakes) and they're great. For the cost, you cannot beat KYB Gas Adjust shocks and struts. Let me know if you need a set as I get em brand new for pretty cheap.
