I just bought some 18 inch wheels and a box of the eibachs spring things. I was wondering if the tokiko shocks would help my car absorb the bumps a little better, since my car would be dropped about an inch or so. Eveytime I hit a bump it feels awful. I heard that I should wait for the adjustable shocks.

Thank You

Are you serious? They suck? I seen a post with some guy that had Tokikos brand new for $290. Should I get those?

The Tokico struts don't have the rebound damping stiffness to handle aftermarket springs. I think they would be great with stock springs. Lowering springs have are stiffer than OEM, so they need a correspondingly stiffer damper. Mine only have about 17k miles on them and I'm starting to bounce pretty badly. Save up and get 4th gen Konis, which fit the 5th gen, or wait and get the AGX's when they come out. I'm going to replace my Toks with AGX's ASAFP...
