Okay so my car bumps around like a crazy bull so I need new shocks/struts all the way around. My question is what are you guys running?? Stock replacements are $130 each, I called Steeda and it seems like they have everything under the sun. I dont want to spend alot of money but I know I shouldnt skimp, So far I priced Tokiko aluminum adjustables (about $250 each) the stock ones, and KYB GR2S ($100 each). I had GR2's in my other car and I liked them so im inclined to pick up some of them up. I plan on taking my car to the track probally 2 - 3 times a summer and I might try some auto X depending on how things go.

I plan on getting springs at the same time or very shortly after

 

I picked up a set of Tokico Illumina 5 way adjustables on ebay for a good price. Only installed the shocks so far but it was a huge difference. Pretty much completely eliminated my wheel hop...

 

The tokikos that I got priced from Steeda best price I found is about $1000 all the way around

 

This is where I got mine:

Total in CDN came out to $550 with tax. I had them shipped to my aunt's in Michigan and I popped over and got them with a few other parts.

 

That looks like a pretty good deal thats cheaper than the KYB's..

Any problems with the seller or the quality??

 

Nope none at all. Came in sealed boxes and got there within the week I ordered.

Not sure if you have a US shipping address but that's how I did it... no idea how it would be when shipping to Canada. Although all the fees will still be cheaper than buying here.

 

When ordering parts from the US - I see if the vendor will ship by UPS to a UPS store close to my border crossing. The UPS store will hold it for 2 weeks. I drive across, pay $5 to the UPS store - and pick them up. So - as long as you're close to the border - that's an option that may work for a lot of US orders.

 

It says he ships to canada why wouldnt I just get him to ship it here?

 

Beware of brokerage fees.

That's the reason I will not ship here. UPS and FedEx are evil companies.

 

The Ford OEM 2003 - 2004 Mach I shocks & struts, which are Tokico Premium non-adjustables, are a pretty good deal at around $420 wholesale price for the set of 4.
