I'm just wondering this...


Anyone?

 

nooB

 

I've had mine paired with Eibach springs for 80,000KMS and they've been fine.

 

post *****

 

U cheap Wh ore get KYB AGX. You always try to find a way out.

 

my tokico started leaking in less than 9 months. now i'm happy with my agx.

 

Which springs were you using?

 

i had apex 1.6" and i still have them with the agx.

 

How wide are your rims?

 

last year i had 18x8.5 my new wheels are 19x8

 

just get it, h&r isn't that stiff the tokicos should be ok on it

 

Tokico struts (non-adj) are crap...at least from my experiences. I had leaks after 10k.

 

damn

 

dummy
ofcourse i much rather get the AGXs but if i can get the Tokicos for like a 1/3rd of the price of the AGXs
i will use the money i saved for other ****

 

With NY roads u will B LOW them in 2 month and pay again.

 

 

I've had mine for almost 50000 miles. First, I had Sprint springs, now I have Eibachs.

So far, my Toks aren't leaking or blown. But, they still suck.

Why? Good question.

They dont have nearly enough rebound damping for performance springs. When you hit a bump, the spring and damper compress and then BOING the car bounces up off the compressed spring. This makes the ride feel very bouncy and uncontrolled, ie. bad. This is also a very dangerous train of events if it happens mid-corner.

This is why Tooks suck.

 

thanks
i figured (well, it's quite obvious) they couldn't support aftermarket springs.. they basically aren't that big of a difference from stock then.

wtf were they thinking when designing them.. I thought Tokico is a very good brand name as far as performance suspension products go...

 

Thay are sort of like you ----------->

 

They are a good brand, and the Tokico HP struts (the blue ones) are good struts. They are just totally inadequate for use with lowering springs. With sotck I'm sure they'd be great.

Plus with AGXs only $350 shipped these days, it's a hard deal to beat.

 

you're absolutely right
it's just that..

When I got shocks/springs agx's didnt exist and no one would install koni's where I live. Your lucky you have the opportuinity to do it right the first time. Go agx and do it right.

 

If you want non-adj go with KYB GR-2. They are a better strut and cost less than Tokico blues.

 

Couldn't have said it better myself!

The Tokico Blues ride really nice on stock springs. I put them in an I30 a few months back and that car rode great. It tightened it up a bit but maintained a very smooth ride. Still not even close to the AGX/OEM setup I ran for a year. The difference in the two struts are night and day.

If your looking for performance, hands down it's the AGX's you want. If your keeping the stock setup and want a really smooth ride, get the Tok's and save your $$ for other mods.

Don't couple Tok's with a drop.

 

I had tokico blue on my stock GLE springs. At first the ride was improved (had 60k on orig struts). 40K later what a crapy uncontroled ride. I experienced what was stated by mzmtg. They suck on the re-bound. For the price they should be alot better. KYB AGX or GR-2 is the way to go.

 

hmm i wonder what its like to drive with that rebound

 

just install Koni's, it's a fun project.

 

no thanks
even if i didn't care about the process of assembling and installing Konis, i still wouldn't do it because of their price

 

iregula,

Not much fun

 

I had Tokico/Intrax & 18" rims, car drove like crap. My stock 16" are back on for now, and it's seems okey, not as bad as before. Although I am thinking of switching to KYB's.

I dunno... My car seems fine with Eibach prokit and Tokico blues. Stock struts are tokicos too. WEll, so far, no problems here. Its pretty stiff and Tokico has lifetime warenty.

 

Isn't it time for you to drop the 4X4?????

 

im running the tokico blues as well, i just put them on like 2 months ago and have no complains at all.. i actually find them alot smoother then my friends maxima who has koni... but i guess i might be biyest

 

Try Stealth Max. I got my AGX's and H&R's for a damn good deal from him. Of course I am in Boston so it didn't cost me for shipping. You could drive up and meet him if you're up for it.
