24, Questing about lowering.... Posted by EvuLFleA, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Can Tokico non adjustables ($200) handle about a 3" drop??? I think they have a warranty dont they? How are theses struts?

These struts are great. They have performed well coupled with my Eibach Pro-kits. A word of caution about a 3" drop though. Firstly, most all DSMers recommend never going lower than 2" or so, unless you are going totally for looks and show(and have a lot of money to spend on tires). Second, even finding camber kits to compensate for the amount of drop is going to be near impossible. Lastly, the Tokico Struts provide for an exclusion in their warranty rgarding "excessive drops." I think it may be easy to characterize 3" as an excessive drop.

i myself have no problems with a 3 inch drop. ingalls and sprint both make 3 degree camber kits for front and back respectively. so, if worst case scenario you have -3 degrees rear and -4 degrees front, you can use these kits to get you back to stock specs (-1 front and 0 rear i think)
