yea but I heard someone say that the computerize suspendsion on the turbo coupe was very good :S I already have the switches from the power at. and I need new struts and shocks soon..  So would it be worth to switch to the Turbo Coupe Computer Style suspendsion?  or is there better..

It's not worth it unless you have found yourself a VERY nice set of the PRC struts/shocks as they are no longer available new....and there are no aftermarket replacements.

Those 2 way Tokiko PRC struts make fantastic drag struts in the soft position.
My wife's 83 T-bird with the 460 has had them since 1993 and put a bunch of runs on them.

I also use the rears set on firm.

Thats all they're good for, drag shocks. Junk.
It's Gumby's fault.

The improve it over the super soft low end shocks/struts, but thats not saying much.

Get a set of Chucks shock mounts, and get yourself a set of Tokico sports for an SN95, they'll make more of an improvement over worn out factory junk.

I agree on the Tokico Blue aftermarket pieces, had the Blue struts on my white T-Bird and they're not race pieces but great for OEM, ride was still very good, would be comfortable for most people and handle better than any of the parts store dampers.  There are much better options than the Tokicos for handling but you're looking at quite a bit more money and possibly a harsher ride, not really what you want for a mostly stock suspension.
