H&R Super Sport Springs & Tokico Struts & Shocks

[GTRacerX]

Installed today. Here are the pics.
Dropped it 1.7 in the front and 1.9 in the rear. Excuse the quality of the
pics Used my cell phone to take the pics.

Its a cloudy day here in SFLA, I will get some quality pics for everyone latter.


NOTE: No problems with speed bumps, inclines. Of course I back in when I park -
Don't want to risk it !

Closer look .....

Springs have not settled yet. But it looks & handles great. Taking it up to
Steeda next week for: Control Arm Relocation kit, Bumpsteer Kit.

Looks good. Which Tokico's did you go with?

Question, do you need a control arm relocation if you're using adjustable control arms? Just genuinely curious. Your stang looks hot.

Can you comment on ride quality, in particular did you have a comparison ride "before and after" Tokico application?

Ride Quality

With the H&R Super Sport Springs - the drop was too low and ride quality too harsh.
I don't like to drive my car like its on a road of egg shells.
I had to worry about every dip, pot hole and speed bump and the car scraping something.
The Tokico D-Specs (judgement being with held) at this point.
Because I swaped out the H&R springs for some Steeda Sport ones.
The ride quality has improved, however it seems to bottom out on some dips in the road and inclines.
Trying to determine if the Tokico Struts are damaged or Steeda's springs are just plain crap.
I have played with the adjustment on the Tokico's from 3-6 and it does'nt matter what setting its at, I still have the same problem.
Am taking it to Steeda tomorrow to have them check it out.
If am not happy with the results I may just go with the full Ford Handling Package and call it a day.
I hope its not the control arm relocation that Steeda performed that is causing the issue - That would really piss me off !
At least all of you can benefit from my experience with all these springs / struts and shocks.

I've ordered the Tokico D-Specs and plan to use the stock springs. The reason I chose the Tokicos is that Steeda used them on their Steeda Screaming Yellow Q (and not their own Steeda kit) and Vortech use them on their test cars. the Steeda got a rave reviw from MM&FF so I hope I'm not disappointed.

My own view, which may be worth diddly-squat is that your car looks a little too low on those springs. The Vortech car and the Steeda use bigger wheels but the rolling radius should still be the same.

I have had the Eibach Sportline for 8 months and have had the Tokico's on for a couple of months and what a difference they make compared to the stocked struts. I set the front at 2 turns and the back at 4 turns.
