Custom Enterprise Springs?

http://www.custommaxima.com/TokicoKits.php

Does anyone have these? How do they ride? how would they work with GR2's?

EDIT: Scroll down on the link to see the springs

The price of the springs alone are cheap. What I personally would do is get the highest spring rate... but I bet that a lot of people wouldn't do that.

The springs should work on your GR2s as well, but the combo might not be as solid as they would be with the Tokicos. There SHOULD not be any play in the seats but there could be since they weren't matched for that struts.

You can call ustom Enterprise and ask them.

Not necessarily... aren't H&Rs the same?

But the website eludes to it being manufactured by Tokico...

I would definately go for the Illumina series suspension kit for $589. Thats a great price for matched up suspension components.

Tokico makes springs and full suspension kits, they are not private labled.

since I already have GR2s, and am considering H&R springs, would these springs have anything over H&Rs (besides price) that could persuade me to buy them instead of H&Rs?

I'd get them over H&R's simply for the price. The new Tokico spring looks to be designed with the best ride quality and handling combined. The spring rates are actually less stiff than stock SE for the first coil, and then I'm sure it gets progressively stiffer to prevent bottoming out. Anyway, this is a great deal--go for it...I know I am.

It'd be an identical drop (1.5 front, 1.3 rear) but the Eibachs are going to be the stiffer spring. So basically, with the Eibachs, you'll get less body roll and a little harsher ride.
