Adjustable Shocks.

Wicked · 02-26-2005, 08:35 AM

I was pricing adjustable shocks and came across Tokico Illumina 5-way adjustables for the front. Is 168 a piece a good price? Sounds pretty good to me. I already have adjustables on the rear.

On Steeda's site, they say will not fit 99-02 Cobras. I would think maybe they meant only in the rear.

Does anyone know of any possible differences between the 99-02 Cobra and other struts?

NM, I'm stupid. I missed the "*" before. DOH!

But still, is 168/per a good price? How good a shock is this?

Brian, don't you have ajustables on the front?

The only difference is the IRS rear shocks. Go to www.shox.com...they are teh whores of the shock world. If you want Konis, see me first as I will beat them but for everything else (Tokico, Bilstein, etc) see them

If its not too much trouble, price me some Koni Adjustables for the front. I want adjustables to make it handle when it needs to and prevent excess cowl shake on I-20.

Thanks.

Fronts are up top, rears I'm not sure about. But most rears are down at the bottom.

The Illuminas have the adjustment on the top for both struts and shock.

Koni Yellows are adjustable at the top on both front and rear. The reds are different...fronts were adjustable up top but the older models were changed to "compress to adjust" type(which I don't care for), I have to verify if that is the case on the newer models as well. The rear reds have always been "compress to adjust" type...meaning you have to unbolt it and compress it to adjust them.

I've got Tockico Illuminas at all four corners. They have full sets all day long on Ebay for around $400 shipped for the fox-body cars. You may do a search and see if there's a similar deal for IRS cars.
