Eichbachs with tokico blues? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Camon19z · 10-19-2005, 10:29 PM

I know that these are the most popular combo on the forum but how is the ride quality, is it harsh and ruff or is it stiffer than stock but not to ruff to the point that if my girl gets in the car she'll notice? I really need to know cuz if it does ride alot stiffer i light have to go with the prokit with the kyb's please ne input would be appreciated.

will be noticibly stiffer.

even with stock springs and uprated shocks it will be stiffer.

It will be stiffer and harsher too. I have that setup right now. The trick is to reduce unsprung weight. Get lighter rims and ride will be smooth as butter. I have some 13LB Enkei racing rims so its super light. With my stock rims and tires, the car would feel like its "crash" on every little crack. Handling wise its worlds better than stock, but then you get use to it and want it even stiffer, lol.

so what do you think i should go with cuz i want my car to handle a lil bit like an accord. I regret to say that cuz im a honda hater but you think the tokico blues with the eichbach prokit is too stiff for what im lookin for or you think the kyb with the eichbach prokit is what im looking for? please give me your input.

what size tires do you have?

i plan to get the same setup also, but with the cheap coilovers.

Eibach and Tokico is a good choice for a sportier than stock suspension. Its not too stiff, comfy for daily driving, but still handles pretty well. I read up some reviews that said the KYB Gr2s were softer than the tokicos. But I have H&Rs and Tokicos and so far its a great combo.

Sorry to interupt, do you guy have picture of that BLUE tokico mount on your camry? I'm such a noob but I always see my rear strut color is blue. I wonder.

I have 16inch rims. Heavy rims and tires will produce a harsh ride.
