Default Tokico Shocks???

LINK IS HERE

Only question I have is would they be a good improvement over stock? I need new shocks right now but can't afford to get Konis. If I get them they will be used with strano springs if it really matters.

Thanks in advance

If you can`t afford Konis, go with the Bilsteins.

I'm going to get the konis eventually, mabye I'll just get the fronts or rears then wait a few weeks and get the others. They are just so damn expensive and I want them so bad LOL. I'll just save my money and get the konis

Yeah, definitely be patient and save for the Konis. I have the single adjustables and they are great, even with just Eibach Pro Kit springs.

Yeah I hear ya, I have so much to do to the car and so little money right now. Hopefully this winter I'll have all of the suspension done and a new rear end, my stock 10 bolt hates me, I'm pretty sure of it haha.

Bilsteins are great for the money, but if you can put it off for a minute go the Koni route. I've never had good luck with Tokicos, they may have a good warranty, but if they're always out for repair what do you do with your car in the meantime, leave it on jackstands or buy 2 sets? I've owned, raced, and street driven on all 3.

Warranty with the Konis, Fantastic! I broke the rebound adjuster on one of my Koni SA on my Z28. Exchanged some emails, sent it to them, they sent me a brand new one.
