Are installing Tokico 5-Way Adjustables any different from stock shock/strut install?

tmoneyballin · Feb 9, 2007

My friend and I will install these Tonight or some time this weekend. We have taken off the stock shocks when we did the gear install and reinstalled - so we got that covered because it's not too complicated. I just want to know if there are any differences with the adjustables as far as installation technique, etc that we need to be aware of or careful about? The only suspension mod is Eibach's on right now, so we aren't messing with the springs.

Thanks!

No, exactly the same installation wise.

What he said ^^

I have them on my car and love em' ... They seem to last forever also. I've had them on my car for like 4-5 years.

Pardon my ignorance because I have not opened the boxes yet, but how easy is it to adjust the settings. Like If I want it to be loose for weight transfer for like drag racing what do I have to do? Once I leave the track and want to go "handling" can I just switch like a dial or how does it work? Thanks guys - I can't tell you how excited I am to get these babies on!

You will turn a dial at the top (Front strut) or on the side (Rear shock).
Why didn't you open the box in the first place?

My time has been tight between Madden and Work lately...just kidding...no they have been sitting out of the way b/c I have been busy.

Do I have to remove my wheels to change the settings?

Thanks

Of course not.
A tiny screwdriver for the Front will do and your hand to turn the knob for the back.

They adjust easily from the top of the shock or strut; the whole car can be adjusted in less than a minute. Five distinct positions ensure accurate and repeatable adjustments, time after time. When it comes to shocks, nothing else even comes close. Lifetime warranty.

Actually its a tiny screwdriver for the front and back. No knob in the back to turn by hand

Oups, I stand corrected.
I have KYB AGX Adjustable Struts and shocks and I can change the settings on the bottom of the shocks with a knob. I don't think they are as good as the Tokico but they're OK.

Best dollar for dollar investment I have put into my car! These things are AMAZING - I am glad I returned the full drag suspension(which would have cost me $100 more)! My friend that helped me install them was so pissed when he drove it he was like, "damn I didn't know our cars could handle and take bumps this smoothly" Needless to say he will be buying a set for himself after he gets new tires - he tends to smoke the first 3 gears wherever he goes...

Great investment, life time warranty, buy on ebay and save an extra 100 bucks - that's what I did.

Are installing Tokico 5-Way Adjustables any different from stock shock/strut install?
