3rd Generation Tokico Hp series....yes or no???

So I'm still in the process of lowering my car with all new suspension, and I just wanted to know if anyone knew about the lowering springs that came with this kit? It comes with all four struts and springs, but does anyone know if the tokico lsprings are any good? Anyone know how much of a drop they give a gen 3?????

For that priced I'm very temped to purchase it now...here's the link:

Didn't realize Tokico made a kit with springs. Their shocks are the best, high quality and also have a lifetime replacement warranty. (SAVE YOUR RECIEPT!) I assume their springs are the same quality. Can't speak for the drop in inches though.

you guys can always call/email a store to find out what the spring drop is
if they were making a set like that for my solara i would buy it blind-folded, great price!

per springs i got only options of teins or eibach, no tokico springs, no kit, no deal.

true hehhe. let's wait for some replies, maybe some peeps are using tokico springs out there, i'd rather assume tokico can't be wrong though
i love the brand even though i'm still running full stock suspension haha .. mostly because i'm afraid my wifey would destroy the bumpers to soon with a lowered car

thats good you like them. I'm assuming you have the springs as well? About how much did it lower your car? And the matrix looks good, perfect stance

It should be a very mild drop, anywhere from 1" to 1.5".

Tokico's a pretty respectable brand so you shouldn't really have any problems.

Just double check on the warranty from the retailer you're planning to buy from to make sure.

I'm looking for a drop between 1.2 inches and 1.5 inches, I mostly want it to look even considering the front is a bit higher than the rear. I'm stuck on choosing a setup...its either the hp series or KYB's with H&Rs or Eibachs

Not sure about the warranty with ebay...i was wondering that as well.... and like you said your car has got to stat somewhere. I'm sure it will begin to come together nicely one day. The reason I don't have any pics of mine is because of the horrible fading paint..lol
