tokico?

[Green95Eg]

So now i'm ready to lower my car.I want something thats a package like springs and shocks.I don't want coilovers cuz i'm never going to take this car on a track. And i don't want to spend over $500. So i've been looking at the tokico shocks and spring package not the adj. ones. Has anyone ever used this before or rode in a car with this set up. any thoughts on anything else that fits this profile would be great. oh yeah i only want to go down 1.5 in the front and 1.2 in the rear.

thats a barely noticeable drop and coilovers arent just for the track

[Green95Eg]

put it this way i don't want it to ride stiff i want it to ride just like it is with the stock stuff. and i'm never going to want to adjust the hieght.

eibach pro kit is a better option

Seriuosly, if you're already looking to spend $500, I'd save up another 200 and get some decent entry level coilovers. I was in the same place as you when I got mine and I was looking for a spring/damper combo but for the money it was totally worth going with coilovers. Like speedy said, coilovers aren't just for the track. It is possible to have a civilized ride with coilovers as long as you go with a lower spring rate. It's also easier to install them since you won't have to swap your stock top hats over to the new stuff.

yeah the drop on a pro ki dropt ain't so much though. It's really only about a 1.25" - 1" look at pics of my car for the evidence.

I agree.

I got some PICs and love them. I don't track my car either. But maybe in the future I will.

for the price of GC coilovers and tokicos....u might as well save a lil more for complete coilovers, price was pretty close, i just ended up going with PIC Apex this time around....they come in different spring rates, just get softer one

i have drop springs H&R race springs and KYB's, and i was in the process of saving up for coil overs when i was given the springs for my civic... but i'm back looking for new stuff... save up trust me its worth it!

i didn't mean just the springs, eibach makes a kit with dampers and i think either the pro kit springs or the sportlines but, im not sure.

I rode on skunk2 lowering springs for 3 years and with stock shocks. I just installed a brand new set of hayami coilovers that are made with tokico shocks and i would have to say the coilovers ride much better than the lowering springs. I searched craigslist and found the coilovers BNIB for $300. Now my car has a much better ride and stance with the coilovers, and having the ability to adjust your height exactly where you want it is definately a plus. The lowering springs also made my car appear to be sitting higher in the front than it was in the rear.

[andrewtaker986]

dude i love my tokico's.....but im already saving for coils. having the freedom of adjusting the height is the selling point for me
