    Tokico Shocks/Springs n M3 sways?

    Just purchased a set of these used for a really, really good price. They were on the car for around 6k. I also got included in the deal an E30 M3 full sway bar setup. I was wondering who was running the tokicos and what they thought of them? And can my 325 make use of the m3 sway bars? It is my daily driver, i might plan on selling the sways if they are of any value.

    Thanks! Pics of the drop would be nice as well. Im gonna install next week.

    The M3 rear sway will work. If you want a stiffer one for the front then the e30 vert sway is what you want.

    As for the shocks and springs. I would have saved and bought something better.

      I have some that came on the car when i bought it. They are ok at best. If you got a good deal they are better than stock but i'll looking to replace mine so thats the final score

        OP, get ready to replace the front shocks again soon. they are complete garbage. the rear springs are probably the best part of the entire kit.

        if i were you i would sell the setup for more than what you got it for and save for something better like H&R sports or race. you will be kicking yourself when you arent happy with the setup or the drop for that matter

          Well, my stock suspension is running up on 260k. . .So replacements were needed. I got the setup for a really good price and dont have the money for even the slightest upgrade right now.

          I know they arent the suspension components of choice, but they will do for now.

            How do you know??

            JK, OP he knows this because we redid the tokicos on my car. After about 2 months, one could be compressed by hand, and didnt rebound at all. Id recommend getting some billy sports. The springs on the other hand, are made by vorschlag and are perfectly good

              Yea, springs usually dont go bad. The shocks are gonna have to do for now. My stockers are so bad, its kinda unbearable. . . I think the shocks should be ok, i think maybe you got a bad set.
              Thanks for the input, i was just wondering if anyone else had this cheap setup.
