steeda springs + tokico blue

[Johnlas]

I have been doing some searching on here to try to find a little more info about the steeda sport springs + the tokico blue (or HP) shocks and struts. So now I have a couple of questions:

Does anyone run this combo? and if so what did you notice performance wise?

I have read a lot of threads on here saying that springs are going to hurt my 60' times, as of right now I have subframe connectors, and I am going to install the pro3i upper and lower control arms along with some 4:10 gears.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a better spring/shock & strut combo that won't hurt the 60' times as bad?

Thanks!

I don't know about the 60 times ... not much of a drag racer. But I do have the Tokico blues with FRPP B springs. I think the spring rates might be similar... anyways I like ,my setup. The ride is not too harsh at all, and the shocks have help up well. I have a 96, but bought 87-93 shocks\struts. They work great.

I can vouch for the tokico shocks and struts, but not the springs, because I have Tokico springs. My combo seems real tight in turns and you can notice the extra firmness..I also added a tubular front sway bar to help tighten up the front end..

I have a 2002 GT and I'm going with the exact setup in about a month. My friend has eibach and tokico blue struts and shocks and the ride is great. I want the steeda springs instead of the eibach, because I think the eibach set the car lower than I want. Eibach drop is 1 1/2 and steeda is 1 1/4. I can't wait to see the results.

I'd go with bilsteins for the rear.. The Tokico HP's (blue and same as ones on the bullitt suspension package) are harsh at the rear end. Fronts struts aren't too bad tho

The HP's are too soft IMO. I'd opt for the Bilsteins if I were you.
