FK/Tokico combo- Comments/Critique?

[HarryPotter]

That's pretty low for an e30 considering the stock height is a good 5-6 inches of fender gap. Especially on the rears of early models.

If you want shocks that will last on a low car, yes, sports are the only way to go (or konis but im to cheap to get sports why the hell would I even mention konis). It's pretty disappointing.

I am probably going to be putting some cheap ass shocks on and raising my car up a hair lower than stock. I am really over the whole lowered thing. It makes daily driving a real pita.

And im pretty sad that those wheels were a scam, guys posting on a local tampa forum while in cali and wants a money order hahahaha. 360 shipped for 4 bbs rms in mint condition? To good to be true!

How low were you though Harry?

tokico and eibach pro kit. It really wasn't that low. Just a moderate drop, still had about a finger and a half in the front and half a finger in the back.

^That. Where you guys all on the Tokico springs? I think they are specifically designed to run at that height. Any lower and they bottom out.

^same here, no track/canyon. All i did was daily drive like a grandma and the still blew.

If you are putting in on the track at all... I mean at all... don't get the Tokico's.

If you are just using it in the daily... Tokico's work fine. I put Tokico's springs/struts on my wife's daily eta. She has been rocking them for a year now and LOVES them. I mean LOVES them. The ride is firm, but still OEM feeling... like a sport suspension on an e46 would feel.

That said, I have H&R Sports paired up with Billie sports on my turbo car... and it is much more my style in handling/ride. Too stiff for most people who are used to stock suspensions, but not too stiff to be jarring teeth loose going over a poor road.

In summation, daily only = tokico's fine

My tokicos never saw track or even a canyon run and lasted a few months tops. Ask E30_fiend how destroyed that shock was when we pulled it out too

Ooh, understood. Thanks for the input!

Shipping only $12 for me, I Think they're based in MA tho.

Tell us Mr.HarryPotter, What suspension are you running?

You ever end up buying a decent battery?

I'm on blown shocks and cosmo coilovers. I've got THR eyeball arms and some other little things. O0o0o and an alignment, and new tires yay.

I did just recently buy a battery for 90 fucking dollars at walmart. I had them install it I can't even turn a wrench.

I just found an amazing deal on 15 inch staggard bbs rm's in 4x100 for only 300 fucking dollars local. Lets hope I can snag em .

Oh fucking yes
