Tokico Springs/Shocks...

I am thinking about buying the Tokico Illumina Strut/Spring kit. Does anyone else have this setup? How is the ride? How much is the drop? Any pics? Thanx...

a bunch of people have it, the drop is 1.8 rear and 1.3 front i think, the ride is sporty and not too harsh from what ive heard.

I really considered that setup but decided to go with KYB GR2's and Eibach Springs. I don't race and mostly do highway driving to and from work. Chicago street driving is full of pot holes too. I can't tolerate a hard ride, I use this car every day and prefer a smoother ride. I had AGX before on another car and will never go with them again, the ride was way to stiff for me.

Drop is similar to Eibach, maybe a lil lower. They are a nice soft ride. I would buy them over any other spring if all I did was drive street and wanted a noticeble comfortable set up. There are some pix of a friends car here, look half way down: http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/346244/7 he has the maxima on the left, with the red clears. The drop looks almost the same as my eibachs. He has an auto tranny and 2 subs in the trunk. I think his rear is lower than mine.



Sorry Adrian112597 but your post makes no sence. Eibachs are the stiffest drop spring you can buy. Also GR-2 are just like agx on 2/4. I have Eibachs and AGX and the ride is hardly soft.

I have the Tokico kit. I like it alot. My 5 spd dropped 1 5/8" front, and 1 3/4" rear. I've had the kit for about 7 mos. and have only scraped on 1 steep driveway. Car is still comfy enough for the fam, and it definitely handles better. Oh yeah, I've never bottomed out either. Enjoy.
