Each or a pair? Struts or shocks?

 

for 2 front and 2 rear.basically a set

 

I'm glad the ride is good, but how's the handling? Noticably more firm than stock? What springs are you on? You have the HPs?

I've got S-techs, and I'm looking for a good, cost-effective handling setup. I don't want to fork over the cash for KSports, and I'l never adjust the ride height, so I'm looking into just replacing the shocks. I was going to go with Koni Yellows, but I've had good luck with Tokico in the past.

Thoughts?

 

283 shipped, thats crazy ridiculous. you sure these are real tokico hts? ive been mislead before...

 

It sounds like a price for HP's . Are they blue in color ?

That last link, for about $490 shipped for the HTS is the ultimate bro deal I've ever seen...

 

ooooOOOOOOOhhhh... 283 for the HPs, and NOT the hts. yea that makes more sense.

i still know of a place that goes lower than that for the HPs :D

 

the ride is good and more noticible then stock im riding on tanabe df210 springs. and yes there hp's i was also looking to get the tein basic kit but i thought im probably never going to adj them so i found out these just came out and i calld my friends shop and he had to order them they came in about 3 days. i would recommend these there good ride quality without spendin all your hard earnd money. im pleased wit my setup

 

Off topic Question:

I am researching what rear suspension component to use with my Progress Coilover set up (still waiting on them to arrive). So when you say that a stiffer shock is needed to handle the progress set up does that mean the monroes will just constantly bottom out? Right now I am in possesion of TRD shocks, stockers and newly aquired monroe's. Obviously I will try them all out, but having no experience with this set up I am just looking for any info peeps can give.

 

you should not have gotten the monroes... i still dont understand why people on here love them so much, they are mushy and blow easily when you are lowered or have stiff springs (progress is very stiff). you have the TRD, might as well use them – of the 3 sets you have, these will handle the best. did you only buy the coilovers for looks alone?

how bout you get a set of HTS and tell me how they ride :D

 

Yea, dont the monroe 5870's work well with lowered boxes? That is what I have been reading on this board anyway.

This is my first go around with coilovers, I basically had a budget to work with and made my decision as such. I have read the good and bad about this set up, but you know how it goes man. Opinions are like @ssholes....everyones got one. The only way to find out if they will satisfy my needs is to try them. If I hate them, I will dole them off cheap and move on.

 

My D-specs have arrived, I will have them on tonight (along with install pics). I will post in another thread...they're getting set at full stiff and then I'll work my way down from there :-)

 

nice nice nice

link us up as soon as the thread is started

as far as monroe struts... it depends on what you want out of your ride. if youre looking for comfort and lowering, then i suppose monroe would be a good choice, but why would you waste your coilovers on a sub-par handling set of struts? you wont be getting the most out of your coilovers... it would have been more cost effective to go with a set of df210's with your monroes.

i just.... HATE monroe struts. all of their models, even the sensatrac. they sucked on every other car ive driven, they blew 1 month after i got h&r's for the camry. excuse my extreme anti-monroe attitude

Tokico HTS + Road Magnet spring thread. Got them on tonight, more info/pics in the next couple days.

 

I went on that web site, and it came to $488 shipped. But, I figured it was suspect. So, I called them direct- and the salesman said they are currently going through pricing changes/web revisons .. and took my name/number, to be given a call back in regards to the HTS price. I haven't gotten a call back yet.... but seems like the lowest price is $580- out the door/shipped (I think msrp is about $750).

 

If it is still 488 shipped, i might just grab a set for as a b-day / graduation gift. let me know if that's still the price.

 

So how much would I be looking at for the HTS's in the front and HP's in the rear price wise? And would that be a good setup for autox?

 

That is EXACTLY the set up I went with. The HTS adjust. in the front(set them on the softer side) , by adjusting them you can then tune out the understear that all of our cars have(FWD). Some peopel like having the HTS on the rear also.. set on the stiffer side.

HTS fronts are approx. $360 for the pair.
HP rears I only paid $35 each
