Default Shocks and Struts help

Okay so as talked about in a prior thread my shocks and struts are a tad worn out....
So everyone says Bilstein HD's but they cost alot.
I found Adjustable Tokicos for $100.00 less.
I don't really care about the ride so much. I want the performance at the track. *autocross*
Mustang guys I need your advice here???

before I had Coilovers on my last track mustang i had the bilstein hds, imo worth every penny. Even my Coilovers were bilstein based. Fwiw you might be able to find some very low mileage 03 cobra takeoffs, if i recall correctly the fronts at least are the same shock for your gt. To save some $$ what about some mach 1 tokico takeoffs? From what i hear they were some pretty good shocks?

I've had the HD's in a coil over and non coil over setup. Both instances they were top notch, and that lifetime warranty isnt too shaby either. However if you dont care about ride quality go with some MM3 bilsteins with a coil over. Will make you appreciate the cost of the HD's

Bastards, they are nearly $300 cheaper then when i bought mine

It also randomly stops even when it starts. Chevy, whatta ya gonna do?

It's an electrical gremlin somewhere in my hybrid harness. I've been punting because it could turn into a nightmare and I don't have much toy money. Though I want to get it fixed sooner than later, it's been months since I've driven it regularly and that sucks. The headlight is an easy thing, that's just vacuum related (likely a leak around the lights).
