tokico hp shocks and springs kit
im looking to upgrade to new shocks and springs for my 96 gsr and was wondering what everyone thinks about the tokico non-adjustables along with tokico's springs. this is my daily driver and i am not really interested in adjustables unless absolutely needed. any suggestions out there?
thanks

Sounds like it should be a good decent combo there for you.

I would advise against it. I had that kit on my 99 Si before it was wrecked, and I was very happy with it. However, I only had them on for a month. A few weeks after my car was totalled, I learned that the HP Shocks are more of an OEM replacement, and wont last longer than a couple years with lowered springs. I suggest getting H&R Sport Springs and KYB AGX Shocks. Installed, it should run you about $600 if you search around a bit for good deals. Many people have this set up, and are very pleased with it. If youre interested in it, let me know and Ill give you some more information and pics of Integras with the set up.

Ive heard the ride quality is very close to stock. I know a guy who went almost 3 years on his stock shocks with those springs, and the ride quality was still pretty close to stock. Those springs have a pretty low spring rate, so the ride shouldnt be too bouncy. All the people Ive known with that set up have the AGX's set to the lowest setting, 1. The drop is 1.75 in front and 1.5 in back, and the AGX's have a lifetime guarantee up to a 1.5 inch drop, so those shocks should last as long as you own your vehicle.

Here are the springs. http://www.cartunerz.com/handr/acurahonda.htm
There are also a couple sets on Ebay for around the same price. Check out www.groupbuycenter.com for the shocks and I think someone is selling the springs too, but just check it out.

man im just full of questions today. i just called tokico and they said that the hp kit will lower about 1.75 with their springs that come in the kit and that it has a waranty. do you think that is still a no go? you said that you liked your setup untill you totaled your car.
