If I remember correctly Bilsteins supposedly have a lifetime warranty since they market their shocks and struts on never going bad due to their flawless design.

i'm very very happy with them. I go tit slightly used, but I have nothing but good thing to say about'em.
Tokico is good too. Had them on my old MR2, and was exceptionaly good too....


Anything is better then stock one tho IMO

I have had experience with both and I am partial to the Bilsteins myself. I guess it really depends on what you are looking for though. The Tokicos will give you a less harsh ride but the Bilsteins will allow you to corner like your on rails.

I have nothing but stock struts and shocks to compare them to, but they do handle nicely!

My plan is to go with Bilstein next year. The lifetime warranty thing is pretty attractive to me. Plus the handling on rails is a good thing!

I'm going with Tokico adjustables so I can choose my ride for a particular day.
