I found a set Tokico blue struts and Tokico springs package for $360, free ship. What do you guys think quality stuff or should I look at something else?

 

Any new pair of tokiko shocks for under $400 is a good price. Although you could find a cheaper set on ebay. Is this for a drop or just replacement? You can also find Tokiko shocks on ebay for cheaper. Other good brands are bilsten, kyb, etc. if they are just replacement shocks then i would recomend going with Monroe Sensatrac (they cost less with a as close to new car ride as you can get) hope that answers your question/

 

it's going to be a 1.25" drop (F&R). Is a chamber kit going to be necessary?

 

I think you're going to need a camber kit for the rear.

 

you could get a camber kit to control the toe+ in, but with the drop you have (1.25 inches) i don't think you have to worry about it. it's more for tire wear and racing/performance. Do you plan on upgrading to bigger wheels? note that with your tires tiny little toe+ in, the wear of your tires will not sit flat, so when you rotate, only switch from front to back on the same side. If you cross rotate then you will wear the tires unevenly and have a bigger chance of ripping.

Whenever i get new tires i fill all four with tire slime. This coats the inside of the tubeless tire and bonds together any microscopic cracks that my occcur everyday driving. Potholes, dips, glass, debris are just a few of the things on the road that can cost you another $75 dollars of more for a new tire. In my case my tires cost about $135 for low pro 19's. :blue:

 

even mild drops may need camber kits.

 

you will not need a camber kit for a 1.25" drop.. unless u live in a really rough place..

 

My drop was 1.5" I chose to install a camber kit for wear reasons. It was noticable on even the OEM tires.

However given the mild nature of the 1.25" drop if you could tolerate a mild bit of inner tire wear you should be fine.

However, I would recommend an alignment after the drop.

And if you must get a camber kit look into a Ingalls kit.

 

thanks alot!
