Anyone with Tokicos

2)What is the longest anyone has had Tokicos, how have they held up.

Why do you need the OEM strut housing for the Konis??
Thanks.

Konis
The Konis are inserts. (Both front and rear) On the front ones you have to cut the top of the old housing off, drill a hole through the bottom and mount the inserts in the old housing. Any rear struts (including Tokico)are inserts, but the top of the housing has a gland nut that you take off to install the inserts in the strut bodies.
When I put my Eibach springs on I used Monroe Sensatrac, and they still work OK but do not controll the Eibachs as well as they should. They are progressive shocks and work pretty well on extreme compresssions but are a little bouncy on light dips. IMO it fells like I need the Konis more in the rear than in the front.

No ooooo's and aaaaaah's about them. they work good enuff.
Koni and KYB AGX might be better choices.

I got about 70K out of my first set of Tokico's. Very satisfied. Just got a new set a couple months ago. Paid $309 from www.shox.com.:)
