My 2k SE has road very harsh since new.
You guys who have gone the Tokico route without different springs, did the ride smooth out or did it get firmer/harsher?
thanks for the info.

I have tokicos and eibachs, and dont laff when i say this but on smooth roads it drives smooth, on bumpy roads its kinda stiff and firm but a little bit bumpy in a way.

I got tokico's and progress springs. Its not bad on smooth roads, but on bumpy I get thrown around. oh well it looks better so its worth it, plus no body roll now.

So if you want a slight drop and better handling but retain near-stock SE ride quality, what options are there?

Anyone have close up pics of the new ride height with the eibachs/tokico's? This one web site quoted me $550 incl. shipping for a package deal for a 2002 SE... that a good price? Thanx guys.
