Strut questions...
Sunday, February 19, 2006 8:39 PM
I bought some Tien lowering springs with 1.7 drop in the front and 1.4 drop in the rear. I was origanlly going to go with the KYB AGX strut/shock package...but later found out that they dont warrenty over a 1.5 drop. I was lookin on ebay for some koni yellows and i came across these tokico hp struts and shocks and i was wondering if anybody knew anything about them?

At the same time I would like to get some oppinions from you guys about which strut/shock assembly to go with my springs...to be honest i dont want to pay the close to 600 dollars for the yellows..but if they are FAR better than all the others I will. THANX in advance guys.


...are you trolls that dumb that you cant realize mid 15s is slower then 14s?

HPs are in the FAQ. Read it. They can't take hardly any drop. D-Specs (also made by Tokico ) can take the drop.

D-Specs and Koni's are in the same class. D-Specs are a bit cheaper and fairly new product. Koni's have a long history of relibality and higher price. Both have been reported to be excelent, so take you're pick.

ok... so what kind of struts would you recommend with the Tiens and the drop that will give me a nice ride? I know since its low it wont be that great of a ride, but i just want something that will handle the drop and still give a nice ride

d-specs or konis and since they are adjustable they will give you a nice smooth ride

just remember if you buy konis you have to cut your front strut in half and insert the koni since the fronts for konis arent full replacements

no thats how the koni fronts come. they are only inserts and you have to cut your stock strut in half to use the lower half (knuckle) of the stock strut so you can bolt up the koni
