i got some ground control sittin under my bed for over 4 months now, and im finally decidin to put them on (no money). well now i finally save up some $$ for some shocks...which should i go for?

 

Tokico struts!!!!

 

I hope that was a joke...

 

I heard that Cattman came out with struts that'll fit the 2k1's

I'm waiting for those to come out.

Anybody else hear about this? I think they're coming out real soon.

 

If Tokico struts are so bad, can I get a list of struts to choose from?

Why are they so bad?

(Hard to beat that price for Tokico's on the CustomMaxima site.)

 

They are too soft to handle performance springs.

That's why they are so bad.

 

I checked out www.custommaxima.com and the only struts he has that fit the 2000 are Tokico.

What are the other options for the 2000?

 

Koni perhaps?

 

i can get tokicos for 280 from stillen + shipping!!

will

 

OK...

So, we can get the Tokicos for less at Stillen (That's very hard to believe). But that doesn't help because I am not supposed to buy Tokicos, right?

Are Tokicos REALLY as bad as everyone is saying?
I just want something better than the factory set-up for my Eibach springs. I'm not going to the "track" every weekend. I don't plan on going at all, for that matter.

Where can Koni's be purchased for a 5th gen?

 

yea tokicos suck!! thats y i have them on my car!! the ride is good handles better i like them esp for the price!! only thing wriong is u cant adjust them!! buy what u want not what people tell u to!!

Just checked out the Stillen site... http://www.stillen.com/partsearch/Search_Results2.asp
The price is for the left and right front. Unless they throw in the back two for free, CustomMaxima's price is better.

 

From what I heard, I think Tokicos are inexpensive but wear out faster where as Koni is $$$. You can find Konis at http://www.shox.com/
lowest price is $460 + shipping (lifetime warrantly included)

"Konis are better than Tokicos, but what the Koni people here failed to tell all the newbies who ask questions about shocks is that the front Konis require custom installation to fit on Maximas. Basically, you need to remove the original cartridge from your stock front struts and install the Koni ones. It's not an easy task, but any good shop should have no problem with it. The catch is that if they mess up, you have no spares to install back onto your car.

I have Tokicos on mine and they seem fine. I think the Koni's are better (for the front anyways) but for me, it's not worth the hassle and extra expense of buying new shocks and then paying to get them retrofitted onto a stock housing. "

Otherwise, go for KYB/AGX , performance might be better and less expensive than Koni's!

 

no offense but u need to do some more research buddy!!! u deal with a certain guy there and the more u buy the better deal u get and i get the tokicos for 280 + shipping bc i have bought alot and my friends buy too!! if u pay list price without calling ur a fool!!!

y would i lie? exactly!

Thanks for the prompt reply WILLSE.

This forum never ceases to tell us to stay away from Stillen, due to their excessive prices. This is why I have never called them. But I am sure when I call them and drop your name, I'll get a deal! I'm no fool, so I'll give 'em a ring.

Thanks.
