Tokico HPs and Tokico Springs setup pics

[IIv SHaDoW vII]

First pic is the front, second is the rear.. Overall it wasnt a hard install at all.. It all depends on your suspension.. Mine wasnt rusty or anything so all bolts came off with no problems whatsoever. You WILL need a camber kit for the back but not the front. If your looking to eliminate the wheel well then this kit obviously is not for you.. The rims in the pic are 18s with 225 40s. If you cant determine it yourself, the front wheel wells have about a 2 finger gap and the rears have about a 2-3 finger gap.

Sorry for the crappy pics, we just cant seem to find time during the evening to take them

used to have the exact setup, after 6 months it sagged to less than 1 finger gap at the front and almost a 2 finger gap at the rear.

+1 for that. My Tokico's did the same thing on my old talon.

Is this a common occurrence with the tokico setup? Can anyone confirm or deny that? Tom.

Well if you want to wait 6 months I can tell you then . I wouldnt mind it sagging a bit more anyways. So far the front hasnt hit on anything including the dreaded speed bumps.
Im sure if it happened on both of these guys' setup then it is a common occurance. I dont see the integrity of one set of springs being any more solid than others.

How is the ride quality and performance?

Someone I knew had the setup before I did... he complained about the bumps on his road... he lives in a rich community... what bumps? He sold the setup to me for 50 bucks, I had it installed on my black 98 GS-Turbo and I live on a washboard dirt/gravel road and the ride was insane! I loved it! I rallied the car, mud, snow, gravel and tarmac! No complaints from me. I had 17" OEM wheels with 50 series tires.

I have the same setup but with mine either the front sits much lower, or the rear is sitting higher. I really dont like how its so different. There is barely any gap in the front, and a decent sized gap in the rear. Any idea why?

Nice setup, by the way IIv SHaDoW vII, what kind of rims are those you have on your car.

Hey it's been 6 months, can I get an update?

Have they sagged more? Is the wheel gap even across left and right? How do they handle? Any problems?

Thanks,

Tom

Probably best to PM the guy with a link.

I'll go take some new pics tomorrow.. Thanks for the pm Artago, sorry I didnt see the questions on my thread.

From what I can tell, the setup is still firm and I am not sure if it has sagged or not. I hardly pay attention.. But tomorrow we will all see if everyone else is right or wrong. I still love the setup and it hasnt given me any problems.. Tomorrow I'll have some new pics for you guys.

Ok, they have sagged a little, but I think it was for the best. I still have a 3 finger gap in the rear both sides and a 2 finger gap in the front driver and passenger side. The driver side, however, is a tighter squeeze for 2 fingers. Its about 1/6 of an inch lower than the passenger side. I still dont mind that they sagged, when they were first installed the rear still sat a little high and gradually has become lower. I think these are still great struts and springs. The sagging from my measurements of before and after is about a half an inch all around. Not really too much sagging in my case. I hope this helps everyone.
