The Tokicos

[Kiven422]

The first time I put these springs on we had to have 3 people hold down the rear spring and 1 person screw it on. Very tough but beats using time-consuming spring compressors.

This time I had power tools and did it right. The car rides nice once again.

I have to say I liked the eibacks + factory shocks better (before they blew). They completely cured the body roll especially nice under hard driving. It was like driving a new BMW 5-series but without feeling every bump.

These Tokicos still give me roll & lean... is that because its in the break-in process???? Will it eventually fix itself?

Shocks just slow down the oscillation of springs. They cannot by definition change the amount [inches] of body roll over a longer than a few second duration.

Shocks might have 150 pounds of resistance at 10 inches per second expansion [rebound]. The total spring compression might be 3" so for <1/3 of a second they can seem like they have a stiffness like 1" of spring compression.
