They are a good bang for the buck. They work best with the stock spring IMO. I've put about 50k miles on a set with Edelbrock springs and the ride was a bit harsh at times.

Now I've got a new set of Koni adjustables waiting in the closet for when I can get them installed.

Bought them thru Summit. Around $139 ea for the struts and maybe $89 ea for the shocks.

As far as springs go I bought what was available at the time with the drop I wanted. The Edelbrocks drop ~ 1.5". Anything more IMO and you stand a major chance of scraping on everything out there. Eibach naturally has a great rep as do most of the other major spring companies.

KYBs are a good replacement shock/strut. However the struts are a bit soft for hi-po street use.
