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.

I think its perfect, now. How do they ride, handle?

My suspension is the Tokico Illumina Suspension Kit... It is 7 years old and still handles like a dream... the ride is bumpy but that is expected... The 2 complaints i have are that my car almost sits on the ground and this suspension causes my tires to wear unevenly... here is the front...

I've got the same kit. Handles quite well. I had to replace the rear shocks however, they both went out on me. $230. Not sure how long the kit has been on the car. I've had the car for 2 years, and it was installed beforehand.

same kit on my GST and my front end looks like that. my wheel well is literally eating my wheels. actually had someone try to tell me i had airbags on my front end. WTF like i dont know whats on my own car. they do sag, but they make for an agressive look and a still close to stock ride.

are mine the only ones that dont sag

If you look in my gallery I had the NEX coilovers that made the cars frontend hug the wheel well and the rear up higher. I personally love how it looks like that, reminds me of a vette. I have since sold them due to needing money for my engine rebuild. I will probably go with the HP's kit or illumina kit in the future.

How long have you had them for?

Mine settled during the first couple days, but haven't sagged. Of course, I've only had them for 5 months.

The ride is firm, but still soaks up minor bumps. For the price and street-only use, I like them so far.

Mine also did this. The front is really low and the rear looks like it is at stock height.
