Aftermarket Shock Absorbers/Struts?

I bought an '06 GT with 18" Wheel/Tire. If I'm not mistaken, they did some mods from the factory on the spring rates/shock valving with this option. I am not sure I want to install lowering springs at this point as I like the ride height. (Bumper sure clears curbs!). I would, however, like to upgrade my shocks/struts as I feel that the valving is a bit on the loose side, particularly on the rebound side. Compression valving is very stiff though. Has anyone installed aftermarket shocks/struts with stock springs? I would be interested in knowing what brand you used and the results. I have checked around and there are very few units currently available. Most are engineeered to be used with lowering springs. Unavailable as yet are Koni, Bilstein, KYB, etc. Any thoughts here?

thump rrr I have been trying to decide on going with the d-spec eibach or steeda springs are just going for the Ford racing kit on one pop? The ford racing kit includes dampers, springs, sway bars, mounts & strut tie brace for 1049.00 (that the price I found)..... Anyway looks like a great kit for a low price. The only thing I would need to add is an adjustable panhard bar. Anyone any thoughts are experience with these different things?

so you when you say lowering kit you mean you bought the entire thing. Springs, dampers, sway bars, strut tower bar? If so that is awesome. Would love to talk sometime. PM with your number if you don't mind.

Has anyone done any track time with the setup? Also, I didn't know it was adjustable. Looking for more info, again any help appreciated.

I will check out the eibach setup, curious, what shocks does it use, are they adjustable?
