Default Best autocross shocks for 1994 Mustang GT Daily Driver with ProKit?

hey everybody

I love the forum. Picked up a lot of info after looking through all 14 pages of this section but I have some questions.

I have a 94 GT that Id like to autocross with. It is my daily driver for now and has a stock 5.0 w/ t5. The suspension is set up with eibach pro kit springs, 03/04 cobra FCA's, Steeda 4bolt CC plates, stock sway bars w. urethane SB bushings up front. I have 4 18x9.5 Y2K Cobra R's with 285x35 Toyo t1r on the back and i think 245x40 or 255x40 t1rs up front (too skinny for rim i know)

Now with all of that said, Im on stock rear control arms, stock sway bars, stock brakes (need replacing soon) and stock shocks (184K miles)

I want to replace my shocks with something adjustable so I can tune it for DD highway driving and for track days. What would be the best shocks to use that will compliment the prokit springs without breaking the bank. Im looking to lose the isolators all around too. Ill get to subframes and LCAs eventually but I want to get the shocks done first.

Any help would be appreciated. I was thinking Koni, tokico, bilstein, kyb but im looking to minimize bodyroll as much as possible on track day with the help of shocks and other parts in the future.


thanks everyone- sorry for the length

You may want to look into the Tokico D-spec shocks & struts. It is one of our top selling adjustable shocks, and is really the best value out there...

The adjustment on the D-Specs affect both rebound and compression at the same time, unlike other shocks in the same price range which only have a rebound adjustment.

We've seen some of our customers go to first in their class in Auto-x just with the D-specs alone...
