the ride wil be weird. the bound and rebound of the tokico shocks will be failry stiff BUT because the springs are soo soft there will be alot of travle. which will also ware out the tokicos a little faster since they are not shocks designed to be used with a large drop. also because the springs are soft, cornering wont be as good as if you used somthign witha better spring rate. this is the case with, i believe, most of the springs with a drop lower then 1.6"(tein S techs are the exception i know of).
