Camber plates for tokico/sportlines
I read on FA that Tein and Cusco make camber plates specifically for OE struts. I haven't seen advertisments anywhere for them though...
Anyone running camber plates on tokico struts? |

Tein, Cusco, Tanabe, HKS, they'll all work. I ran Cuscos for years on my Tokico Blues.

If you don't mind me asking, what springs did you run on your Tokico? I'm really torn between them and AGX. |

AGX are better...by far.
The Tokicos are nice for a non-adj shock, but the AGX beat them out IMO. - Brian

Thanks for the info.... I guess i'll be running sportlines/AGX..... w/ camber plates up front. How long do people's AGX's generally last on a 2" drop like the sportlines? |

Correct. Illuminas are made for S13.
Tokico does make a JDM only adjustable set for the S14, but they're rare and stupid expensive. When I had the Blues I ran Eibach ProKits originally, then switch to Intrax. They had close to the same spring rates but lower just a little more. Car rode fine and autocrossed well with only a little bottoming over very severe dips.

The only short stroke shock I've seen was some no name strut company that I really don't care to trust. Are GABs short stroke? iirc : Sportlines are at the most a 2in drop. Not 2.2, at least not for the 240 anyway. |

GAB Super HPs are not. The Revo Stroke model is, but they're more rare and more expensive.

Sportlines are a 2.2" drop for S13s, and 1.7" for S14 |

And just when I thought I wasn't going with coilovers for my daily driver, I guess I am. I want a nice 2" drop for my s14, but being it's hard and expensive to find a short stroke shock, I don't to drop 350-400 (AGX) on shocks only to blow them prematurely because they won't last long on the springs. To those who asked, the car is an s14 |

Yes, by production #'s that is the drop. However, I have kyb agx + sportlines on my car right now (89 240sx coupe), and I believe the actual drop was approximately 1.7" at most in the rear and a little less in the front. But if we all wanna be that picky, we should get coilovers or rsr springs :-D. You may also want to consider the koni yellow inserts + ground control springs - those have better dampening in the rear & lower drop. KYB suggests that if you run sportlines, you set the dampening to at least 3/4th way on both front and rear (i.e. 3 in front, 6 in back). They last quite a while, I have had mine for a year and it's still pretty good - having other suspension related problems right now, but not strut related. Keep in mind you also void the lifetime warranty when you do anything more than a 1.5" drop. Co-ink-i-dinkily, my struts are also for sale :-D - email: hyphendesigns (AT) yahoo (DOT) com - I don't check here too often & zilvia doesn't tell me when i have replies even tho I checked (instant email noti..) |

Speaking of those rare Tokico short stroke struts I picked some up not to long ago and mated them with some rsr race springs. They are amazing together. The struts are 4 way adjustable front and rear and feel much better then the agx's in my opinion. Not a harsh ride or bumpy in the least. If you have an S14 check out the Tokico D-spec struts. They came out not to long ago and are 16 way adjustable, have metal adjustment knobs, and use the same technology as the as the Tokico Hts's which are very very good as well and up until now were very hard to find. The only downside to the Hts's and the D-spec's is the price.
