DelSolSweetie Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 tein - always good tokico - always good megan - hell no d2 - i wouldnt do it skunk 2 - nope kyb - good bilstein - good ksport - i looked at them for the surpa.. im not going to get them.. but i know a couple people with them and they have no complaints.. rode in a drift 240 with them.. had a little body roll but it wasnt too bad.. quite nice actually and why are the spring rates not in SI units ! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 ok so i narrowed it down a bit. the tein high techs seem like they would be too soft. so they are out. that leaves the following combinations: Tokico/M2 kit $397.79 shipped Tokico struts with Tein S techs $461 shipped KYB / M2 kit 338.64 shipped anyone else have any suggestions? im really liking the tokico and tein setup, but its a bit pricey lol(not really but still yes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedDemon Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 i will slap you ive been doing nothing but researching suspension for the past couple weeks spend money on the good crap now and not worry about it later im in fight mode today so watch it. lol slap him anyway. consider these. not as low but still nice that is what i ran on the del sol. actually those do look very nice. i just wish they had the spring rate on them. ok so lets narrow it down again. either the Tokico Blues/Tein Stech springs for $461 Shipped or Tokico Hp combo kit for $424.98 hmmmm ill pm him and see what the spring rate is.

DelSolSweetie Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I'm so proud i might cry a HONDA owner inquiring about spring rates and not just buying something cheap... its soo amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 well its like a woman. during playtime they like things stiff and firm and not soft and sloppy im looking for a higher spring rate. but not in the 400's. hopefully the seller will get back with me because im really liking those tokico HP. i wonder why my searches wouldnt bring them up on ebay?

Xeryon Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Because the Tokico branded shock/spring combo is not a common product due to height not being very low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocifero Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 If you're like me, you like options. I like being able to adjust the height and stiffness of the shocks. If you get bored of your setup or want to change the style maybe and adjust the height without coilovers, too bad, you're outa luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 agreed, the gimmick there is that most people want options and then never actually use them so end up paying more for something they never use. if you are gonna pay for it you might as well actually use it.

And the shocks is very nice too because I didn't know how stiff I wanted it. And things change. People get older, preferences change, you might need to soften it if you have a kid or whatever, girlfriend, etc. Being able to adjust all these things allows you to tune the suspension further and balance it to your liking.

SpeedDemon Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 yeah see thats my concern if i go on a road trip i would like to soften them up a bit. but if i get a nice set of rims and want to carve corners i will need it lowered and stiffened. i think ill bite the bullet and go tokico/ground control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 Ground Control Coilovers now i have a random question. will the struts for a 88-91 civic work on my 92 hatch? because it would save me quite a bit of money. for struts and coilovers. there isnt that much weight difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 if you want the shocks to actually attach to your car you should probably get ones that will fit. otherwise, go ahead and buy the cheaper ones. and hell no my car's ride isn't changing for some girl. well......maybe if it was megan fox it might.... or bell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 gah so much to choose. i hate this lol. no mine wont change for the woman either. she dont like it, dont get in. so its either the tokico blues/hp combo or the tokico blues/ground control hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
