Complete Suspension Setup for 600 bucks

[2drSE-i]

Alright well today i sat down with a calculator and figured out what wanted as far as suspension goes. i came up with this

H&R Springs - 149.99 + 29.99 for shipping on ebay
Tokico Blues - 205.00 + 20.00 for shipping on ebay
ST Sway bars - 139.26 + 20.00 for shipping on optionimports.com

comes to $558.24 USD

This seems like the most cost effective setup that tokicos can actually handle. Add front and rear strut bars from justin you come out to
$708.24

hopefully this information is useful to someone besides me :) i just thought it might be nice for someone to hear that you can do decent springs and struts for under 900 dollars.

outch that is alot of money....i just plan on geting the tokicos hp blue from ebay...they are like 204 plus 15 buck shipping(it says best price at the end of the title). some neuspring 1.5 drop all around, and tires since mine are gone. some one here were making rear sturt bars....i wanted to knoe who was that so i can send them my money for one.

[mkymonkey]

he was making the strut bars both rear and front. BUT he has the manufacturing on hold till he gets more free time.

yea i was just posting that it is possible to have a rather competitive suspension setup on a 3g for under a grand, easily.

tokico's and ebach pro kit for $320 shipped

well tokicos, being 15% stiffer than stock, technically only support spring rates up to 250. seeing as how h&rs are still harder than that, i just figured this would be the most probable combination.

outch that is alot of money....

Lol you crazy... hahah

And nice post... I personally agree on the tokico and H&R combo, I think it works pretty well.

Whereabouts have you seen this?

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Yes thats the bumpstop. And there is no such thing as red tokicos.

There WERE Koni reds, and there are tokico illuminas, just not for our cars.

[ghettogeddy]

Whereabouts have you seen this?

[crazykamper]

oh, i see, the koni reds are the ones not made anymore then huh? sorry, guess i just got a lil confused.

looks liike u got a good deal though!! nice.

[2drSE-i]

illuminas are cream colored anyway. yea its a pretty damn good setup, ive been contemplating it a while......to bad i cant afford it lol.

[crazykamper]

whats so good about the konis??? i look around cardomain, and almost everyone has koni fronts, and revalved bilsteins in back,

whats the diff between usin that setup and tokicos?

[killa_16]

thnx 4 da info, u really helped me out makin up my mind about wat i wanted to do wit my susp.

[Hash_man_Se_i]

^^ The Koni's are adjustable for stiffness and are much stiffer than the tokicos.

[crazykamper]

oh, wow. didnt know that, thanks. i dont know if i would want stiffer. so i guess id stay with my tokicos.

[ghettogeddy]

so i got my fronts in man is there i big dif between blown struts and tokicos lol but i only got my fronts in the back lower bolts were on pritty tight so i have to figure out how in getting them off

[2drSE-i]

yea tokicos are only good for 240 pounds of damping power, konis i believe are good for 350

[crazykamper]

oh, i see, sounds interesting, too bad konis are pretty darn expensive,

[2drSE-i]

and nearly impossible to locate

[crazykamper]
