I'm assuming the Tokicos can just be directly installed, like the TRDs. At least, I haven't seen anything to the contrary yet.

Well I think Tokico will tell you the struts are actually designed with around a 1.5" drop in mind... so the STechs might be a little severe for them - but that's not to say they shouldn't last a while for you. I've been on Hotchkis springs for 40k+ on OEM struts without a real problem.

alright cool...i just want a more solid feel rather than the stock struts and shocks....i think this will do it for me

plus it would be cheaper than coilovers or even koni's...so i can get saving for the turbo kit...

i've been on koni's almost 10k miles and i love the damping adjustability on them, i have tried in the past tokikos and they didn't make it for me! that's my feedback

1) i dont think the factory shocks are designed fot any drop.. so the tokicos would be better.......... even if it only designed for 1.5 drop...

the cheapest is to get tokico plus lowering spring..

to get konis is a stupid thing.. imho...

expensive and for that money youcould just sell your stuff , save on konis and get coilovers.
