Another Suspention question....

Since the search feature is disabled...i'll have to post this. Need some opinions on this setup, Eibach Pro Kit/Tokico Blues. Looking to improve handling and close the wheel gap, but still maintain a comftable ride. ThX

kyb gr2 and H&R springs would give you the same drop, but a more comfortable ride, unless you are looking for better cornering performance, in which case eibach would probably be better. also, most people will tell you tokico blues suck

Never run Tokico blues and Eibach, your shocks will blow out or leak after about 10k. For all other information:

Lots of people say Eibachs are uncomfortable, but it all depends on your tolerance. I don't think mine are stiff enough.

Re: Re: Another Suspention question....

Ya i hear mixed reviews on the Tokico's....but the truth of the matter is that i cant afford AGX or Koni Yellows (which i would love) plus up here in canada they are extremly EXPENSIVE the Eibach and Tokicos installed are going to run me $1100 and thats the cheapest i could find them for. Thought about buying them online from US but If they get nabbed through customs....I'll be paying tax %15 plus $43 Duty + any brokerage fees that apply .....so that plus the US conversion to CDN will work out just as expensive. I think i might have to go with this setup and see how it fairs. Anyone from Toronto know a place where i can get the parts for cheap???

why dont you just get H&R's and AGX, it's your best bet, wait a lil while untill you can get them cheap.
