Looking to buy shocks/struts

Can anyone point in the direction of an affordable shock/strut deal for my stang. Im not looking for specialized ones, just maybe something you can buy at advanced/autozone.. etc.

Looking to spend around 150-200 max, the less the better(college is bad for your financial health)!

btw car has 1.5" lowering springs

Thanks
-Donnie

Donnie,

Do some research, but when I did my conversion, I replaced my Konis with new ones. However, I did see that Summit offered two lower priced items. There were the QA1 10 way adjustable struts for $229, HAL-H2001. There were also some from KYB that were dirt cheap. I don't know anything about them, but they had a Gas strut for $59, KYB-235009 or an adjustable ones for $89, KYB-743020. Put the part numbers into the Summit Racing website and see if that is what you are looking for.

Later

I think DMP had the complete sert of 6 for KYBS for $200 at one time. If you are serious about wanting it to handle, buy the good ones now or wait. or just buy discount/autozone ones and wait to get the good ones.

Sides FFW/NMRA are coming up slowly, be able to get parts there cheap.

KYbs are alright for the price. They are stiff, but you cant adjust them. I must have freak ones on my car. They have 100k miles on them and they are still stiff.
