The kit that i bought is bilstein specific, it just isn't as good as the mm kit so it needed a lil' cut to fit over the mounting ears, they have a regular strut kit also for your tokico's, the diff. between bilstein and the rest is the strut body diameter, not the mounting ears so maybe you will also need to do the "ear mod" but for the money, i will cut 1" anyday, as it doesent affect performance and i have the 12" 300# spring's that it came with.

How did the install go for you? How long did it take? I'm planning on installing these this weekend, I have STrange adjustable struts though.

Why did you have to use the spacers?

It took me roughly 1 hour per side, it's straight forward and real easy, the reason for the spacers is to give the upper coilover mount room to clear the camber plates without rubbing on the plate or the strut tower, it say's it in the intructions.

How about your alignment? Did you do measurements before hand to get it close, or did you have it aligned after the install?

I'm putting on Maximum motorsport cc plates and MMR coil overs this weekend.
