<--- From this car.

I have a set of Tokico blue shocks, struts and matching springs that need a new home. They are #680 front #250 rear. They lower the car about 1.5" front 1" rear.

Currently running them with a Steeda X2 ball joint for an extra .5" of drop.

$200 for all springs and shock/struts. They are two years old with probably around 8k miles on them.

Where are you located?

And what brand are the springs? Are they progressive or fixed rate?

Located in Grand Rapids MI. Rears are progressive but just barely, at least in a car as heavy as mine.

Springs came as a package with the shocks, they say Tokico on them.

This is where I got my info.

Hello Tony,

Thank you for contacting TOKICO. These are spring rate for front & rear

front= 680lbs rear= 250lbs

I need to add the rears have a half of a coil cut to match the X2 ball joints.

How was the ride?

My car is 100% street only

Slightly better than stock, as in it rides nice just leans less. They were my first change to an 88k car, the key is that the shocks match the spring rate.

My 23 year old original shocks were not bad, but my rear springs were sagging, not a great look with the tall front ride height.

What did hurt the ride was poly bushings and solid CC plates.

No rush on my end they are not advertised anywhere and still on the car. I am changing to coilovers, as this is my Summer DD and weekend warrior.
