DIY Strut installation
Anyone has a video or pictures. Just found out my front struts are leaking. The car only 66000 miles. Ordered the Tokico HP blues. Did not want to spend a lot as money is tight. I will try to change all four. Any help is appreciated thanks.

You will have to get new springs. Tokico are best suited with After market springs. I love my tokico's but i have them matched up with Tein S-tech springs. Guys on here used them with stock springs and found the drive isn't the best.

About the Tokicos I installed them on a Lexus SC300 with OEM springs as a replacement to worn struts and they didn't ride very well. The springs were was over damped. Of course on smooth roads the stiffen up the ride and help out with the cornering but most of the roads we drive on are not. It caused the ride to be very stiff and a bit bouncy.
hope that helps
