Re: Bilstein Shock & Strut Package (94-04)
I have bilstein HD shock/strut kit for my 03 mach which is lowered on steeda sport springs. I love the setup. The ride is just a little more firm than stock but the bilsteins give you great control. I got mine through stangsuspension.

Re: Bilstein Shock & Strut Package (94-04)
Do u have stock wheels. cause iv heard people say that if i lower the car the wheel well will overlap the tire and not look right. ( $1500 plus install. is it worth it. really)

Re: Bilstein Shock & Strut Package (94-04)
1500? Where are you looking at? The strut/shock package runs about 600 or less everywhere i know of. Stangsuspension has it for 528 http://www.stangsuspension.com/store...?idproduct=842 its the route i'm going when i do my coilovers, i just hear great things about them and the performance/comfort mix seems just about right.

Re: Bilstein Shock & Strut Package (94-04)
I used the Bils with the stock springs for a while and it worked well.But the bug bit again so I got some MM R&T springs and now it's great!If you are 1/2 way mechanically inclined you can do the install yourself.

Re: Bilstein Shock & Strut Package (94-04)
Going off a little bit but how are these compared to the Tokico D-Specs? And does anyone have the D-Specs..Opinions? Sorry no mean to hijack the thread, just I was looking at both of these.

I have the same setup on my 04 and love them. You should get CC plates also. Are your old struts shot or are you going to lower the car? IMO there is no reason to just change the struts unless the stockers are going bad. The bilsteins are great but the difference in handling between them and the stockers probably aren't worth the expense unless you are going to change the springs out too. You can spend the money on other suspension mods like full length subrame connectors, better LCA etc... Anyway, changing just the struts out is super easy. Changing out the springs is a bit more complicated but the struts just bolt in at the top and bottom. Just need 1/2" drive socket set, box wrenches, jackstands and floorjack.
