6755, new suspension installed Posted by fasterGS, Feb-16-02 09:34 AM
Woohoo.. got my new suspension installed today
went with tokico blues and h&r race springs. The car is noticably lower. Havent gotten a chance to take some turns fast or anything but it seems more responsive. It also seems kinda bouncy, is that normal? Also when I drive it doesnt seem to want to go straight, it wants to go either right or left. Would this be the result of the camber being out of whack? Im gonna post some pictures later. Looks so much better, not waiting for the flood anymore!

Aiight, I will have basically the same setup except I'm running H&R sport springs with a 1.5" drop. The ride is probably bouncy because you're riding real low and the shocks don't have much travel distance.
My Tokico Blues are on the way, I'm wondering with a 1.5" drop will the ride be considerably stiffer over stock? I really wanted something stiff, but I didn't wanna shell out the $420 for adjustables.

Mine rides pretty stiff.... when you hit a bump on the road you definetely feel it. FYI I found some Tokico adjustable shocks at topauto.com for 332 shipped to your door. That is by far the cheapest I have seen. i would have gotten those but I already had mine on the way.

You got the Premium Performance NON adjustable tokikos. The tokiko Illuminas are 5 way adjustable, and are $86.57 each at the site you listed (which is also a good price for adjustables).

the 5 way adjustables are on options for 79 apiece, that doesnt include shipping though.
