I have the Eibach Pro Kit for my 06 GT but I have not had them installed yet because If I get shocks and struts now rather than later and get them installed all at the same time I will save about $200. So I have narrowed my choices on shocks and struts down to eather Tokico or Bilstein, because thats what I've heard are the best. Which ones are better and why? Any info will help here, I know nothing about shocks.

Bilstein tend to be built better Tokico tend to be harsh, but I heard the new D-spec are adjustable enough to change that reputation. Lemme make it easy for you....Go with the Tokico because Bilstein doesn't make a product for the S197 mustangs yet and likely won't for another year. Unless you want to try H&R that have the same valving as a Bilstein, but I don't know of anyone trying them on an '05+ yet.
