Tokicos and Eibachs?? How well does Tokico shocks/struts and Eibach Springs(Pro kit) work together. I have a local guy selling everything new for $300. I was gonna go with Bilsteins and eibachs but this deal fits my budget much better. How do you think this set up would compare?

Even if it doesn't really compare, the price is hard to beat. Will the ride be ok. Dont need a road carver just looking to lower with a decent ride.

I doubt you will like the ride with that setup.
edit: to clarify, the Tokico's are more or less valved similarly to the stock shocks which is not ideal for the reduced travel and the difference in rate of the Eibachs. I think you should hold off until you can get at least Bilstein shocks to go with them.

X2, the Tokicos won't feel "right" or last very long with the ProKit springs. Will it work for a week or two? Sure. You still need an alignment though after installing lowering springs. Just a waste of money to get two alignments done unless you get free alignments or don't care about tire wear.

i have that setup on my TA for about 6 months now. i actually took off some older bilsteins to go to that setup. it is a little stiff over larger bumps but i LOVE the way the car handles now and it still rides pretty well.
