#7334, "Good Deal?"


          

Is this a good deal? I dont know if the springs lower it any. I would think so.

Damn, that's a great deal...but I don't know much about Tokico stuff though. I just spent $723 on an Eibach Pro-Kit & KYB AGX Shocks.

I have that same set-up on my car. You can see it in my sig. It dropped it a good 2 inches.



"i want a turbo that gets full boost (35psi) at 2500rpms, and will make about 490hp to the wheels and make my greddy type blow off valve louder than jet airplanes

I personally think thats a good deal. Tokico is proven, it just depends on what you want. Although I got the tokico blues and am wishing I would have gotten the illuminas.

It depends on whether you want the Tokiko springs or not. You can get the Tokiko struts for around 240 for all four, so then it's like you're paying 130 for the springs. For 130, you can also get Sprint or Progress springs so it's just your preference.

If you want my true opinion...both sprint and progress sag after a while. I think progress is a little better than sprint. I know too little about tokiko springs to give a true opinion. If it were my choice, I would go for the best - Eibach. Sportlines (1.8" drop) are under 200, and pro-kits (1.3" drop) are about 225. Keep in mind this is the comfort of your car, and you will feel it everytime you drive. If you don't want it too low, I would recommend the pro-kits which are the best for performance too.

Also, I had the H&R sports which I also liked very much. They are 230 new, but I sold em for 90 bucks. Maybe you can find either H&R or eibachs online used somewhere for cheap. Springs hardely ever go bad. I would buy new shocks though, since used ones might go bad.
