--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been looking for a long time on which name brand and type of shocks and struts to get. I still don't know which way to go. I think I like the idea of having adjustables, but are they nessary? I plan on lowering my 88'GT rag top no more than 2". Is there a good lowering number to stick with? Should I go 1,1.5 or 2"'s? And should I lower the car the same time I replace the shocks and struts? Or can I do it later? I'm working with a short budget here, but I want to do it right the first time too. What should I do and whats a good shock/strut to go with? I've been told that KYB's are just a factory replacment set up, but how are there adjustables, are they any good for what I'm looking for? Someone, please help.
