Yes, if you use the car the way I do. Some people go up to 700 pounds or more for autox, while 600/500 seems fairly common for it as well. But you wont run those springs on tokicos. 450/350 is good for a mostly street car, and is pushing the limits of the tockicos.

And it seems as if I'd have to get the upper mounts? More money I don't really have to spend.
The mounts are only 100 per end. The fronts are the only ones that are REQUIRED if you want to cheap out. But I'd rather spend the rear 100 for the sake of do it right, do it once. But the fronts are required in my most humble opinion.

I got out of it all for 1050 at the time. These days it may make more sense to spend a little more and do something like Tiens. Though I'm not completely sold on them, but I'd like to get some firsthand experience with them. Odds are I would spend 500 more and just do JICs if I ever upgraded, setup by RRE. Some good info on their page if I remember correctly.
