Default Input on TOKICO STRUTS

I just ordered some Tokico struts for my 2000 LX V6 coupe, 60 k miles, lowered w/ Eibach prokit, stock struts just crapped out.

Are the Tokico's firmer than stock, i hope so.

Please let me know how you like the setup. I am planning on installing Pro-kits and Illuminas in August.

I'll have some pics hopefully soon for you. I can say that it is noticeable visual difference, but not so acute as to notice the lowering right away, usually people will not notice right away, but will say " Hey is your car lowered?"

Any experience with TOKICO?

That's good to hear. I want to still be able to load my car up with people/cargo and not have to worry about rubbing or bottoming out at all. Looking forward to the improved handling though...I have only heard good things so far about the Pro-Kit/Illumina setup.

How much were you lowered at the time and did you have them replaced under warranty?
