Getting new shocks nd struts. Need help!!

My the shocks and struts are worn on my car (it has 90k on it), and i was wondering the best set up would be. It is a daily driver. I want a slight upgrade from stock though and ones that can handle lowering springs. I have a budget so it needs to be less than $400. I am also going to throw some new quads while i am at it.

Depending on how low you intend on dropping the car should somewhat dictate which struts to go for. Generally speaking I have been advised that the best are as follows:
Koni Yellows
Billsteins
Tokicio D-Specs

Other options include:
Tokico Illuminas
KYB AGX
Tokico Blues <====== These seem to be very popular in the mustang community for a mild drop and are very budget oriented.
KYB GR2 <=== Also designed for a mild drop and are budget priced

Thanks! I only plan a mild drop, nothing to drastic. The tokico hp's are looking good

I have these on my Mustang before I upgraded. The Steeda sport springs gave it a small drop and the handling was greatly improved.

Not to badly priced either. They were a little more when I bought them.
