Shocks and Struts?

chris1 · February 13th, 2008, 06:49 PM

Are the OEM Tokico's twin tube or monotube shocks?

chris1 · February 14th, 2008, 11:12 AM

Easy! Dont rush now...

weems · February 14th, 2008, 12:17 PM

i believe they are twin tube because Tokico is known for the gas twin tubed shocks. But I may be wrong..

I will double check. Weems, would you say the twin tube KYB Gr-2's are a good setup for a DD?

weems · February 14th, 2008, 01:41 PM

i personally havent heard anything about those.

i run KYB AGX ajustables and they are great. And my car is a 100% DD.

The thing is i dont see the justification in having adjustables if i never plan on using them. They offer a lifetime warranty correct? If so, you'll just get them replaced for after wear and tear?

im not sure about the warranty, but i only ajust mine from street to strip. not that hard, turn of a dial

Only reason i ask is because they state to have a limited lifetime warranty. I was curious what the limited standards are. Im sure its not hard but i still dont see why I would need to pay 117 dollars per strut.

I dont know about the warranty but im sure its just like most, bullshit. I would not rely on it but I have had mine on for about 30k now with no problems what so ever. And you already know this but you get what you pay for. Bilstein also makes good shocks and struts and you can get the package for a little cheaper.

I agree with you 110%. On both the warranty and "you get what you pay for". heres the link to the strut

the shocks im still in a debating process

I had the gas on my 91 coupe and i liked them. Between those two thats what I would go with. The GR's seem like more of just a replacement shock.

Well seems like i might be interested in more of a replacement but these Tokicos are a great deal and only cost a little more.

If you want a replacement then yeah go ahead and get the GR's. They would be perfect for ya.

No problem dude. Hope you find what your looking for.

What do you guys think of the Tokico HP shocks/struts and springs? I just purchased for $414.99 out the door. I have a daily driver that I wont be doing any auto cross, but still want better handling and ride quality then stock.

AzSonicSnake · May 12th, 2009, 03:15 AM

been running tokico allumina's for some time now with great results. and al thats needed for them to be a track shock is the turn of a dial!

SWEET2KSTANG · May 12th, 2009, 04:05 AM

AzSonicSnake · May 12th, 2009, 11:41 AM
