Tokico HP Struts/Shocks... Any good??

[94GTPilot]

I saw this package on ebay, and have been looking to lower my car for the past few months. Coupled with a set of C/C plates, would this package be any good?? Or any other suggestions around this price range?? Thanks for the input... :SNSign:

So I take it you both added C/C plates as well? or can it be done without?

 

[94GTPilot]

$135?!?!?!? where did you get that??

 

[mytight95]

www.performancecenter.com, they were having some kind of "clearance commando" sale........

From what I hear the Tokico struts and shocks are pretty good
for the money.They are alot better than stock I will tell you that.

They're what I have and I really like them (with a mild drop - I cant speak about really lowered cars and how they dampen).

EDIT: I just have the dampers - I have Eibach springs.

i have them with the sportlines and really really like it, it isn't harsh.... rides just as good as my wifes mazda 6s

I'm running those with Eibach Springs the car was lowered 1.3 Fr & 1.4 Rear. The ride is firm, not overly rough with the 18's & low profile tires. It was really smooth with the old tri-bars & stock tires.

I have that kit on my 89'
Great for the money

Sounds perfect... But I am also wondering if I NEED C/C plates.. I am assuming yes?

 

[4Jenna]

I didnt and the car aligned fine

I'm also thinking about replacing my tie rod ends, cuz while driving down the road, the front end pulls to one side or the other. And when I get the front end off the ground, I can grab the sides of the tires, and ever-so-slightly wobble the left/right, but not up down. Would that indicate bad tie rod ends? I want to make sure I do the whole front end right when I lower it, to get the best ride/handling.. ?? :SNSign:

Bilstein are one of the best struts and shocks
you can get you mite want to consider them.

Thanks, but I was kinda curious about my steering issue, tie rod ends, etc.. anyone have any ideas? input?

I'd try and narrow it down further - play as you described is more likely to be inner tie rods than outers in my experience.
Good luck.
