That said, I had the Eibach Pro-Kit on KYB struts on my Cougar and I was blissfully happy with it. I didn't track my car or anything like that, so the KYBs did the job and fit the bill on my salary (which was "nothing" at the time). There are better struts out there, but on a daily driver and a budget, the KYB/Eibach combination was fine.

Re: Koni's VS kyb?
Does anyone know the part numbers to the st200 struts? I will check team ford. I go through Ford Country because of a bigger discount but I will let you all know!

I'm not sure if the st200's are still made... but, just my advice - I've been using st200's for the past 4 years, and if you even have the chance to go with the Koni's, you should.
The st200's aren't very forgiving when going over bumps.

BAT sells the ST200 struts. It's their BAT "Euro" struts.

Re: Koni's VS kyb?
IMHO I am not happy with KONI right now. I just had to put some bs struts in today because the konis in the rear failed horribly. They are awesome when they aren't leaking or blown completely.

BAT still lists their "Euro" struts; which are re-stickered ST200 struts, IIRC.
