Anyone used Tokico shocks? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

jdkruger4 · 12-12-2001, 02:00 PM

I'm looking for some springs to give me about a 1 inch drop and im leaning towards the Eibachs. Anyone have any other suggestions? Price is a major concern. And i was thinking of Tokico Blue non-adjustable shocks to go with these. Would this handle well? Any other low-price well performing shocks out there?

I have Eibach-Pot kit and Tokico blue all around set up right now in my 97 240sx. The looks and handling is awesome plus it wont hurt your pocket at the same time.  Also, it feels like your riding on stock!

from what I've heard...the eibach's are matched very well for the tokico's....

I've heard and seen from a guy with eibach pro-kit that those springs will lower the car alot more then what the manufacture states. And it's not just him with the same experience. If you have a front lip spoiler on your car, you will be scraping it alot.

240sxtreme- I was looking into the H&R. How much did it drop your car by? was it about what the manufacture states? or more?

I've also notice that the KYB Gr2 are a bit stiffer than the Tokiko blues. (although not by much)

jdkruger4 · 12-12-2001, 08:45 PM

should i get the KYB GR2s or the Tokico blue's assuming the same price? What are the best low priced lowering springs ot get. I want handling over ride quality though. I dont mind a stiff ride at all. I also want 1" to 2" drop.

Put the H&R springs and tokico blues on front today, backs tomorrow.  I'll keep you posted! 8)

who makes good adjustable shocks/struts for s14's or s13's for that matter.  Tokico doesn't make the adjustables for 240's

Takumi · 12-13-2001, 04:24 AM

Koni for S14's, if you're willing to spend a #### of a lot more on shocks, then I'd say GAB (for the S13-S14).  For S13's, many people are happy with KYB AGX shocks and Koni ajustables.
