someone tell me what the Tokico suspension kit are like>?

I saw the tokico kits that are so cheap on custom maxima.com and I was wondering if anyone with this setup can tell me what the ride/handling is like. I want to lower my '96 with H&Rs, but the shocks that I would use are too exspensive for me right now. And the tokico kits just seem so cheap. any info would be greatly appreciated.


thank you

Were you looking at the Illuminas or the HPs?

I've installed 2 of those kits on cars. Both customers went with the Illuminas. The drop is nice, about 1-3/4 of an inch, a bit lower then H&R's. 5 speeds sit nice and even as well with that setup.

The ride is very smooth, mostly from the superrior Tokico Illuminas. I'd say the spring falls between H&R and Eibach as far as firmness goes.

It's a really sweet setup.

would you go with H&R or those "performance lowering springs" from CC?
