How's the ride with tokicos and sprints?

I installed my tokicos and sprints about 1 month ago. I'm unimpressed with the the bouncy ride.I had stock struts(!) and sprints on before and the ride was much better.
IS it just my car? or are all sprint/tok setups the same?
TIA

Hmm..very interesting information! Im getting ready to put on my

Sprint springs and I have stock OEM struts (about 9 mos. old) and I

can't decided whether to spend extra $$ on tokicos now or just wait

and see how the ride is with 17"(heavy) niches, stock struts and the

sprints.

But, looks like you got 17's and if your saying the ride is better

with stock than the toks - I will just install the damn sprints and

see what happens!

Your handling didn't improve with the toks over stock struts??

Handling did improve, however the car bounces soo much that the ride sucks. It did bounce with stock struts but not as much as it does now.

my Sprints and KYBs were stiff as **** when I first put them on....only now after 10 or so months and 15-20k miles are they starting to soften up on me and bounce.

anyone else with the Sprint/Tok combo have any feedback???

Well I dont have Sprints...

But I do have Tokico/Intrax...mine is a lil bouncy too. Although it's a firm bounce, if that makes any sense. Doesnt feel unstable at all or anything. My Tokico's were never THAT stiff (they're only 3 months old now). I didnt even really notice a big difference after putting on the Tokico's over my 10 yr old stock struts. Just felt more stable.

From what I've read SFC's make a huuuge difference on the more lowered Maxma's. There's a thread about it in the General Maxima forum. I'm sure it's not a miracle, but I'm sure it helps. I'll be sure to let you guys know.

Well, granted, WSP ever sends my crap.

Thinking of selling my Tok/Eibach for Sprint/Koni; how do you think does would work out?
