4th Generation tokico struts and Tein spring

I was wondering i'm thinking of getting tokico struts and tien springs for my 98 camry and my friend was telling me

#1 These would only last me 2 years
#2 Tokico sucks

I'm worried because I want somthing to lower my car but to last around min 4-5 years. something under 1G

I do believe the Tokicos have a lifetime warranty? you might want to check..
I've had mine for roughly two years and they still do the job although I'm replacing
them with the JIC coil overs..
It all depends on how you drive and what you want out of them.

1. TOKICO Limited Warranty. TOKICO (USA) Inc. warrants its performance suspension products to the original retail purchaser against defects in material and workmanship and wear-out when used on private passenger cars and light trucks under normal operating conditions for as long as such purchaser owns the vehicle on which it was originally installed, except for electronic components, which are warranted for 1 year from date of purchase.

2.
Exclusions from Warranty Coverage. The warranty does not apply outside of the United States and Canada or to any units which (1) have been improperly installed or installed on vehicles for which they were not designed, (2) have been modified, altered or subjected to misuse, negligence or accident on the vehicle on which installed, (3) are operated commercially, off-the-highway or for racing or (4) installed on excessively lowered vehicles.

3.
TOKICO Warranty Obligation. TOKICO's obligation under this warranty is limited to the replacement of the defective or worn-out product covered by this warranty. TOKICO has no obligation to bear any costs of removal or installation and will not be liable for any special, incidental or consequential damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

4.
Warranty Claim Procedures. To make a claim under this warranty, return the defective or worn-out unit, with a photocopy of your invoice, to any dealer participating in TOKICO's warranty program or, alternatively, directly to TOKICO for verification of warranty coverage and exchange for a new unit. Any return must be accompanied by a returned goods authorization form and a statement containing the claimant's name, address, telephone number, date of purchase of the product, a brief description of the defect, if a defect is claimed, and a description of the vehicle on which the unit was used, including make and model year. If a return is made directly to TOKICO, TOKICO will, upon verification of warranty coverage, within 60 days after TOKICO's receipt, send a new unit in exchange for the returned unit, and refund the cost of shipping the returned unit to TOKICO. Returns or warranty-related inquiries to TOKICO should be addressed to TOKICO (USA) Inc., 20021 S. Rancho Way, Rancho Dominguez, CA 90220-6318.

Odd, i've heard nothing but good things about tokico, and mine have performed exceptionally well.

most definately, the quality of tokico's cannot be questioned

same goes for their warrantee. if it starts leaking, then bring it back to the shop where you got it, and they should order a new one for you, and then you just have to bring your old one back to them

It's Tein NOT Tien.

AND, for the noobs out there, it's not pronounced TEEN or TEEEYAYN, it's pronounced TAIN.

I would suggest you get an allignment at a good shop after the springs settle. Should be fine after that.

with H. tech tein springs i think i'll definately need to be getting a good allignment. I do notice the top of my wheels angling inward. A camber kit could help, but for the most part i think you should be okay.

You should be fine with the Tein/Tokico setup. Tokicos are great shocks, just as long as you don't slam on them (go more than 1.5in which you aren't). And Tein is a reputable company so their stuff is top notch.
