So ive been thinking about getting new shocks and lowering springs for my 240. Im in college and really dont have loads of money to spend.... so i found these Tokico HP series shocks and lowering springs for $540 and they look good to me, what i want to know is if any of yall have had them or know anything about them?? Also if i buy shocks and lowering springs what else will i need to put them on my car??

For an entrance level upgrade they are fine. The springs that come with those are 30% over stock. They will feel nice. BUT , i blew mine in less then a year because i drive my car hard all the time. But when i had them they were cool. I just drove my buddies car they other day and he has them and it feels sooo nice and firm but smooth at the same time.

You will need these if you want to adjust front camber

Heres my coupe a looooooooooooong time ago with Tokico HP's w/ springs and stock wheels. This is how is sat....



If you dont camber the camber bolts , you wont be able to adjust your camber , its a cheap option so just buy them.
