Hi everyone! As part of my day job, I am responsible for the marketing strategy for Tokico, which until recently, basically was almost completely vanished from the U.S. market. But we're trying to bring the brand back and are looking for some help.

Does anyone have any stories of using Tokico shocks? Or anyone who's first suspension mod was Tokico shocks? Basically, we're looking for anything people have to say about having used Tokico shocks to help us generate some marketing ideas. So if you've used them, let me know a little about what you used them on, what you thought of them, why you chose them, etc. Thanks!

I know a friend who had them in his 240Z with stock springs, he loved them, they had nice dampening and upped the handling in his Z, he used them for like 2+ years until he sold his car and before he sold it, they felt almost as he first installed them. If you need a tester for some new Tokico shocks, I will gladly volunteer my S14 :bigthumb: I have fully stock suspension. I could make a video review too of the installation. and testing.

I think I had Tokico shocks put on on one of my 199x Infiniti Q45's as a replacement ... as I recall, they were also the OEM mftr for those models, but not sure of that memory.

We had them on something. You'll have to hit up greg to know for sure. Our rep was awesome. He took us out for dinner one night while we were at SEMA one year and stayed in touch for a while.

Tokico is the standard strut/shock combo for the 2013+ 370Z sport package. Fantastic suspension setup for stock - tough to beat with aftermarket without spending tons of money.

My buddy tracked his 370 quite often - had BC coilovers with swift springs swapped in and talked about how much better the car felt with the stock suspension plus upgraded sway bars.

Other than that... I got nuffin.
