I look around everywhere and I found a place selling tokico hps for around $280.
When I look around I see a lot of packages for around $400 with a set of "tokico" springs for sale, or on ebay with a set of "lowering springs" that lower the car around 1.25". I'm trying to figure out if they're good springs or not. I was thinking I should wait to get the springs and all once I can afford the caster camber plates, and get a good set of springs, but if the tockico springs are good I might as well save the money and buy a shock/spring kit right?

Also, how much would these shocks hurt quarter mile time?... as it is my stock shocks are gone...

I had the full Tokico HP Blue Shock & Spring setup, purchased as a kit, on my '93. I loved it. Quality setup, really changed up the handling dynamics (in a positive way). I think I paid $350 for the entire setup back 5 years ago.

i just got the tokico Blue Shocks and struts cause my shocks and struts were gone too.

with just the shocks and struts theres a big ugly gap between the fender and the tire.

i dint get the springs yet cause i wanted something done soon cause my suspenion was bottoming out.

but the ride with just the shocks and struts is like night and day from what it was before.

I can't wait to get mine... my suspension is horrible! The hatch actually rattles sometimes because it's so damn rough
