strut questions

Front clunks pretty hard over bumps/cracks. I know about the rear clunk and had the rear links changed about 20 times while under warranty to get free ones. SO.. I think my struts in the front are shot.

Any input on what struts i should buy to replace them? I like sporty cars and have a mustang with 400 hp but this is my everyday driver... so i dont want to go all out(5 way adjustables) but i dont want something bottom line. I see protegegarage has tokicos for 379 set of 4 and it has set of 4 with springs for 499. Should i spend the extra 120 and get the springs too or just get the struts ?

or if theres is any others i should look at let me know.

i would bet its not the structs, but the sway bar end links. they wear out pretty quick. get some new ones installed to see if it helps before you spend money on struts. you will have to replace them anyway if you get new struts. but this way, you can at least see if you really need new struts first.
