Tokico hp shocks springtech springs
any one ever use them? it says they drop 1.6in in the front and 1.7 in the rear. just wanted to know if anyone has used these and has any advice on them. thanks.

a 1.6" drop is pretty extreme. and i've never seen any reviews on them before. to be that low they would need to have a high spring rate to keep you from just riding the bumpstops. anddd if they have that high of a spring rate tokico's probably aren't the best option to handle them. i would look elsewhere.

You do realize that the picture above is not of the shocks for this car, right? Also notice that whatever they are for, the springs don't even fit the front shock perch correctly.
You get what you pay for. I'd be much more leary of the springs than those shocks. I don't think the Tokico's are a great bargain considering you can get SLP Bilstein's for just over $400 shipped to your door---$409.99 to be exact and the Bilstein's are much higher quality shocks.
You can also do better on springs, that's too much drop for good compliance and for the shocks to have good range of motion to damp in.
