Looking for best possible combo for street use. Im getting ready to lower my 96 gt and im trying to mix match shock to springs and such. Anyone from personal use have any input which is nice riding + good looking stance from any products you guys have used. Let me know thanks

I just put a prokit on my 96vert, and I love it, and it also looks and handles great. I was going to go with a sportline kit but i heard that it lowers a stang way to much

I have the Steeda Sport kit on mine...handles and rides great...not to aggressive of a drop, but gives it just the right stance without scrapping everywhere you go. It has a really good spring rate for weight transfer.

heres a link to steeda for prices

if yoru not a serious 1/4 mile guy then some self adjusting tokico or kybs would be fine. If you are more into racing then the strange stuff should be looked into. Kits like the pro kit are better then the aggressive sportline. I have had both and perfer the pro kit X10. You also might want to look into some control arms for the rear.

Its complicated lol i love to race yes but id say 75% of the time the car is just for cruising and looking good. What would you suggest for both styles?

if your not that serious about racing and just do it for fun then some self adjusting ones would be fine for you. If you do plan on lowering the car 2" or more then you might want to look into fox body struts up front as they have a 1" shorter piston rod which will allow you better use of the strut VS a SN95 style. Good shocks and springs really make a difference on a car with stock pieces.

if it's mainly for looks H&R Super Sprots give a nasty looking drop. And put them with some HP Tokicos and your golden. That's what i am going with,
