Tokico Suspension

http://www.autocarparts.com/part/245/567/

I searched .org and didnt find any information other than cost. I wanted to know if anyone has this combo and can tell me how it handles/rides. Any Pictures? I had a Nissan Altima with Kyb-Gr2 struts and Sprint Springs. Would like to know how the 2 would compare in ride quality.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

ImportCarPartsP had this kit listed as a Group Buy item but tells me that Tokico is not yet shipping them. There was discussion/speculation on the 4G subforum that the springs on the 4th Gen Tokico Kit were manufactured by Vogtland.

There tons of information about different set ups in the Suspension Sticky. Read over them! Some good links within the sticky as well!

I'm having a hard time deciding what to get...I just want to cut the wheel gap and get a decent ride without bottoming out for around $500-$600 (parts).

Also, KYB-GR2's are OEM replacements.

Progress/Illumina IMO is the best set-up I have had.

Try and stay away from Tien SS, as they have a screwed p ride. Unless the road is very smooth etc, they will bottom out and get really annoying.

I have this complete setup for sale paired with Tein S-Techs if you'd like. I couldn't ask for a better quality setup, and i've tried numerous ones.

thought so.. when I replace my struts I think I am going to go with the Ksport coil over system. Several people I know have them and love the way they ride. I actually like cars that ride harsh (as in adhering to the road). Not really a fan of smooth riding cars; you don't have that in control feeling.
