Yeah. Thats the real deal. I've been in contact with a Tokico sales rep for over 5 months now and he has been very helpful with updates on Tokico products for the tC. He told me August 20th 2007 is the D-Day for launch of the Blue HP series for our cars. Looks like a trusted eBayer got in the first batch.

Now I can get my suspension done right. I have always have great experience with Tokico. All my hondas had them and I love em. Great performance at a great price.

Koni and TRD are good too, but to spend that much on struts for a car thats lowered less than 2" is unneccessary.

H-Tech and Tokico HPs for me.!!

You wouldn't happen to know if these are almost similar to the Koni where you would have to cut your stock front struts up to get the mount would you??? Cause in the pic it looks like it doesn't replace the stock shocks without some kind of modification.

I'm sure that the photo in the auction isn't the actual parts thats being sold. They probably used that pic as a reference. That looks like its for Honda Accords.

I'm sure they placed the auction before they got their shipment in. But looking at the sellers rating, its good.
