    Complete Suspension Setup for 600 bucks

    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.

    Re: Complete Suspension Setup for 600 bucks

    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.

    Re: Complete Suspension Setup for 600 bucks

    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.

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