Cheap and all four of them... I've killed my GT struts on the front of my car I think... I'm going to get actual Lowering springs for my car (front only) and I want to replace the struts... I'll probably pull a Carmen and redo all the suspension bushings in the front as well.... so I'm thinking it will be pretty nice up front...
 
So who has them?

I've heard loads of good things about them over on the other message board I visit.  I'm planning to get a set just like it for my Neon once I put the new springs in.  Tokico 'blues' they're sometimes called.

You might want to get a set for an SN-95 stang. Most say that the Tokico Blues are the same as the Bullitt Tokicos. I will be buying another set of Tokicos one day. I think they are perfect for a daily driver. Right in between KYBs and Bilsteins.

I was actually thinking of going with fox length ones. Since the car is roughly 2" lower I believe its bottoming out the sn95 struts.
 
And Pual I'm going to try and find some 2" lowering springs.. maybe only 1 2/2"... 1 1/2" should lift my car about 1/2" above the cut length... I dont have any rubbing problems even with 245/55 16's but I dont have enough suspension travel.
 
I'll probably get some stock ride hight sn95 springs that have an increased spring rate.  The back is pretty good, but its kinda soft.
