My local shop told me not to get tokico's because the upper seals blow out and it get messy fast. He has had to return over 30 pairs in the last 6 months. Anyone have this problem?? or know if this guy is full of ****?

Well i got my Eibach and Tokico setup installed about a month to two months ago....The Tok shocks are great for freeway driving .... meaning straight way with no serious turns .... well im really starting to hate them because when you start the spirited driving, the seem to give out and bottom out ... like the other day i was messing with a Honda CRX in a new community thats being built ( dont worry no people or children, just streets with unfinished houses) we were playing a little game of cat and mouse....when i would turn really fast on a slight up hill street, i would hear the toks bottom out.....dont know if this is common amongst the majority or the struts made....but mine has had this problem and its really disappointing considering that its supposed to make the ride so much more competitive and better....it made me really sad and wish i bought the koni adjustables....hope u get some more feed back....

I havent felt my Tokico/Eibach's bottom out yet. Even recently when my buddy and I were comparing his A4 and my max and were driving it hard. No problems per say. I did not trim my bump stops.
BUT, I do wish I had bought the Koni's. This setup is not real balanced. Meaning that over bumpy roads, it feels like **** and over ok(not perfect) roads its fine.
More body roll that I thought I would get too.
