Hi, new guy here with a question

[Crimsin]

I was looking at the Tokico shock and spring set on E bay, has anyone used this set?

[evildky]

they are decent, I have the tokiko set on ,y Z31, huge improvement over stock, btu a logn way form coil overs

[ravera]

they run alright, nothing special. Cant really handle that much spring travel. If you just want tighter handling for a DD it's fine. But a solid set of Coilovers with Koni's or Bilsteins will be a HUGE difference.

[Crimsin]

What about KYB, are they any good?

[evildky]

KYB AGX are good, KYB GR2' are stock replacment as in if you got busted shocks and just want some non busted shocks they are fine, but if you are at all interested in performance they suck

I couldnt find Bilsteins that would fit my car. I did a search, but turned up zero

those of us runnign coilovers section out strut housings alllowing us to run different insertshttp://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=237090and here is a lengthy discussion about which inserts to use, koni, tokiko, carerra, bilstein, adshttp://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=138601

I looked up more info on strut sectioning, b ut all I came up with was your, "strut sectioning 101". Do you have to section your struts? im not going to be racing it, just weekend crusing. Oh and thanks for not flaming me. I do know how to work on cars, it just seems that the Z in kinda needy

I'm here to help wiht what I've learned along the way, mostly form mistakes

no you don't have to section your struts, it's only needed of you want to go wiht coil overs, if your car is a daily driver or weekend cruiser just call msa and get their springs and tokiko inserts, it's fairly inexpensive, it's a direct bolt in, it'll perform better thna the 40 year old dampers and wiht the lowering springs you won't hae to use aspring compressor to put it back together

[Crimsin]

So, I guess Im going to have to find someone who will section my struts. I planned on going with modern motorsports coilovers

[evildky]

beta motorsports and arizona z car both sell assymbled coil overs
