Well I haven't had the chance ($) to try the Edelbrocks but,I have noticed that they are expensive...I also saw them on TV being installed on a Mustang vert on that "Horse Power TV" show...
I'm running Tokico blues (non-adjustable) shocks and struts teamed with Eibach Pro-kit springs...I am very pleased with the set-up and if I could do it again,I would only change to the adjustable Tokicos...It's a very nice ride,very streetable and not as stiff as I thought it would be.. Edelbrock has a huge following so I doubt that they are a "bad buy" but,Personally if I had the cash I would go with an adjustable shock from Tokico,Koni or Bilstien... They would provide the most flexablility in whatever direction you would want to take you suspension (from mild to wild).. Good luck and if you get the Edelbrocks,post up about your opinion if you can...I'm sure there are others wondering the same as you ...-Milt

i wanted to pick up some tokico non-adjustables (blue) as well, but decided to do some research first. first off, i wanted to stay away from KYB GR-2, heard nothing but bad things. i found that STRANGE engineering now makes 10-way adjustable shock for stangs, can be adjusted without taking the shock/struts off. they are not as expensive and tokico adjustables or koni/bilstein either, but may not be as good quality wise. prolem is, i dont know anyone that has tried these?!?!?!? anyone!?!?!?!?

I've got KYBs (they were on the car when I bought it). They are stiff, very stiff. I was thinking of going to an adjustable too. Sorry I can't give advise on the others but let us know what you go with.

I've got the 10-way adjustable shocks and struts from Strange Engineering. I like them. Real easy to adjust and at a good price. I'm still working on the setting for where I like the car to launch, but overall am happy with them.
