ATTN: leolism!!!!!
If you've checked my other post on suspension you'd see i'm on a time crunch. So i've been looking around for pics that i've liked the drop. I came across yours and i like it. What do you have? Eibach springs~ Prokit or sportline? Looks too high to be sportline but just checking. What are those Tokico Yellows? I've heard tokico's are too great in terms of reliablity or was it Koni's that aren'g great. If its the prokit u dont need camber but if its sportline what kinda camber do you have; if any??? Man thanx i really appreciate your help.

im 90 percent sure he's got pro kits with struts on there.
you can go pro kits with KYB or tokico struts.. that is a good combo in my opnion if you dont wanna rub.

Yup, I got eibach pro-kit and tokico blues.
This combo gives a softer and more comfortable ride than that when i was using my stock shocks. Also, tokico shocks drop my car another half an inch from my stock shocks
now my rear wheel gap is gone.
I don't have a chamber kit...don't know if i need them. But i have my suspension on a honda dealer and they said nothing about it so i didn't care.
Do get new shocks when you get new springs, but i did perfer KYB AGX if i can choose again, since they are about the same price.
Tokico blues has a life time warranty, so u can blow it and blow it again without any worry. KYB has a 2 year warranty...but i don't think i'll keep my car that much longer. ( New Z

how much did the blues and pro kits run you? And you said, after putting in the blues they lowered it an aditional 1/2 inch!?!?! So with prokits, which are...what....1.3 inches or something, and blues....1/2 inch, its about a 1 and 3/4 drop?!?! That sounds just perfect to me....and its a pretty smooth ride huh? oh, where would i look to buy the best price on these two items?!?! Thanks, love your ride height! looks nice

I got the prokit for $210 in some street shop,
and i got my tokico blues for $300 from a honda dealer.
I don't really know i you can get them for cheaper...but do get them from authorized dealer so that you can go back and bitch whenever something goes wrong.
Be aware that these tokico shocks does make some "quishing" sound for the front shocks, and i get some clanging sound from the rear sometimes. (That's just me maybe)
I didn't measure the drop but lets just say the rear wheel gap is gone and there is still like .5 inch gap in front.
Check out the link in my sign, the one that said "Eibach + tokico" is when I got both.
The one that said "My CL" is when i just have my eibach and no tokico.

Yup, HONDA dealership!
I was suprised when i found out that have a department that sell aftermarket parts.
I love them because they are very nice and professional, unlike those shitty shop that does the job wrong and don't take any responsibility.
If you live near LA, u can check out their website.
http://www.dbmotorsports.com
They carry about anything!
I dunno if i'm picky and bitchy about everything, but I do feel the tokicos blue to be a little bouncy. My friend said the car doesn't look bouncy from the outside on the freeway...but that's what i feel...
I dunno why but i feel they are rough and stiff on the road going straight, but soft while cornering. I do get more body roll with these shocks than when i used to have my stock shock.
I dunno if other shocks will give a better ride, but i would recommend KYB AGX , konie, tokico 5-ways adjustable over tokico blues.
