a lot of ppl having problem with tokicos is because the spring they use is too stiff. tokico combo with near stock spring should be ok. IMO

I have progress with tokico and thats probably the hardest spring they make... and i've had no problems so far.. It says on the package for tokico's that its made hard for very stiff springs so I doubt that is the problem.. poor installation might be the cause because if done right there should be no problems

Tokico Shocks are not suited for truly stiff springs.
Eibach and Tokico Combo is good cause the first inch of travel is very forgiving since its a progressive rate spring, but if you hit enough bumps, you will blow the Tokicos, honestly it just can't handle it. Tires will also make a difference since I've noticed the wider the tire, the less abusive the ride.

How did you get the front strut mount to fit?

They are ok, except i was ticked off that they didn't fully explained that the Eibachs would not fit correctly over the rear shocks and what you have to do, but i had called and they explained over the phone and i did and it worked. The front ones are modded and then they painted the bottom in black. I must say the price is kinda high, but it worth it on your max.

Ok, wait now, don't buy the 4 gen mounts? they wont work? What about the dust boots? How much are the 5th gen mounts? I want it to be reliable, and adjustable and well worth. On the softest setting, how soft is soft? I have H&R's.

Thats expensive. Cause, I dont want to kill my stock stuff. I most likely will go that way. How much trouble, if any will I have with my H&R's? I will most likley order at the end of this month. Does it matter whicg dust boots I use? How reliable for other cars are these Shocks?
