Hi, I'm new to the forums. I just recently bought a 1998 Mustang v6 5 speed, 3 weeks ago . Everything that was wrong with it has been fixed, except the shocks and struts. They aren't in good shape and need to be replaced (probably should also replace the springs to?). Which I will, sometime after Christmas. But Until then I need to figure out what I'm going to get.
I'm trying to decide if I should get the Tokico Advanced Suspension Handling Kit (HPK 209) or the Tokico HP non adjustable shocks/struts with some Eibach Pro Kit Springs (or the sportlines, what's the difference?). Any Suggestions?
I'm not going to be racing or anything like that. This car is a daily driver for me. And is there anything else I would need to buy with this? I have no clue , I plan to buy everything that will be needed and go to a shop and have it installed. Anybody know how much that would cost, (installation)?
First of all i dont believe they make a sportline spring for your car but the only diffrence between the prosprings and sportline is the sportlines are more aggressive lowering. the shocks and struts that you have picked out will work well ecpecially on a daily. if you are ever going to turn it into anything more i would probably go with the Tokico D-Spec. as for intallation its really not hard to do yourself as long as you have some basic car knowledge and common sense.

Ok, thanks, that solves that problem. Just to make sure, I'm assuming that the Eibach Pro Kit Springs are better than the Tokico Springs. Is that true?
And will I need to get anything with this; nuts, bolt, bushings or whatever? As I said, I have no clue what I need... And I'm definitely not going to install this. I know something would probably fall off while I'm driving, if I did it myself !

first of all i didnt know tokico made springs. do you mean shocks and struts? and its really not that bad to install its actually pretty easy on our cars. as for the diffrence between the two there both good and its kinda personal prefrence. new bushings for the front end will help and tighten things up.
