Tokico Spring experience

Any buddy have any experience with the tokico illuminas matched with tokico springs, eibach pro-kit, or h&r pro springs. Any complaints with them prefer one set up over another. Any help would be great thanks

Re: Tokico Spring experience

The only thing I don't recommend is putting stiff springs on Tokicos, AGXs, or KYBs. They are not meant to handle high spring rates and your shocks will blow - at least mine did with Skunk2 coilovers.

Re: Tokico Spring experience

tokico's are the absolute last i would recommend, i had tokico's on my del sol and they started going bad after 6 months. tokico's suck I would not recommend them to anyone. not even my competition at the race track. i have skunk2's at the moment, no complaints from them yet. i sure wish i had agx

I had tokico illuminas on my integra for about 2 years before i put my tien coilovers on. They worked great for me. They were still good when I took them off.
