tokico struts

[lownslowcam]

I have put the sprint springs on my car and still have the factory struts on. My question is if i put the tokico struts on will it lower the stance of the car or keep it about where it is now?
Yes, i have used the search button but can't seem to find an anwser to this question. Thanks for all your help.

Generally it takes close to a week for the new springs to settle. By settle i mean post-modding..the stance of the car will still be about the same as OEM springs. In about a week the car will drop a tad bit. In regard to your question...its going to the same...struts make the ride comfortable or stiff...not the ride height!

^what he said. Also, just in case you don't know, the struts will help will the bouncing your probably feeling now.

thanks for the help.
so would the only way to get lower be to put on coilovers or something along those lines?

The technician that helped me put my springs on said that Tokicos would add about a 1/4 inch to the drop. At first I questioned this, but he has lowered over a 100 cars before, so I kinda believe him. Still, the improvement in ride quality and handling are enough to justify the $350.00 price tag of Tokicos.

you can always chop the springs if you want it lower...and you can search to read about all the spring chopping discussion.

btw where in texas are you located? i'm in dallas

how do you know you're going to get an even drop all around?? & how are those chopped springs going to effect the performance of your car???

plz, because i've never chopped up a set of factory springs myself, or met a person who has - even if they were on a message board.

Its been more then a month for me and I don't feel as mine have quite settled - its noisy - (or did you mean height settling?). Any suggestions

like i said all you have to do is search to read about chopping springs....its an ongoing debate and one that i am not going to get into here.

read this link & you can PM people who have chopped springs that way you can "meet" someone who has done it

thanks for all the input this is the best place in the world for help. By the way i did cut the factory springs cause i had the sprint ones already. It was fun but it is really bouncy though.
hey ripley i live in good old H-town lol. Again thanks for all the input

yup, I got that question on camber too. I know a lot of people lower 1 - 2+ inches and don't do anything about camber. C'mon people who shelled out those extra dollars, was it worth it?...

I really would appreciate the answer because I am $$$ensitive, like a lot of peeps here.

The sprint springs took away alot of the bounce that i had when i cut the factory springs, which i am tankfull. lol. I'm not really sure about the camber when i cut them cause i only keep it that way for a little while. However with the wprint springs the camber isn't all that bad.

OMFG u cut ur springs?


Ur an idiot...

[lownslowcam]

If i had the sprint springs already and just wanted a project doesn't seem that it was such a bad idea. Now if i had left the cut springs on there then i could maybe seeing you calling me an idiot. i think you have no room calling anyone an idiot.
