I have heard so many mixed feelings about the tokicos, and I was wondering if the extra pressure from the sprints 2" drop would help or hurt their performance.

Please post any experiences with the tokicos and if you would recommend this setup or suggest saving a few more $$.

Thanks.

I concur! I have that set-up and it's *****. The ride is excellent and the handling is great. For the money, you can't go wrong.

cheers,

IMHO...

Tokico shocks cannot handle the Eibach springs...speaking from personal experience. The shocks have softened considerably during the 5k I've hade them. Perhaps this is an unfair comparison, but a 10-yr old MB 560SEL with 70k on its suspension can soak up and rebound to large bumps on the freeway @70mph better than my newer aftermarket suspension. Of course it can't corner like a Maxima. My suggestion, if you're willing to pay, would be to get some Konis

I have them...I like them. They can seem a little bouncy on undulating pavement, but when you get serious (sweepers at 90-100 MPH) they are just about perfect.
