What an afterthought.

 

Very very interested. I'm going with the Skunk2 springs here in a couple of weeks, and I'm worried about draggin ass with the OEM's...especially when I start loading in stereo equipment. I already rub a bit with OEM springs and my 17's (only over hard bumps) and I'd like to be able to not have things as "spongy" in the back end.

 

Either way, I will be needing a set myself soon...

 

Got the Tokico's put in today. Didn't drive it much because of time constraints but I will get more time on Friday and I will post some feedback.

 

YES!!! any time estimate?

 

Can't wait to hear your report!

 

same here! if the price is that good, i may just get these and some eibachs!

 

Shox.com has them listed at $289.00 before shipping but I am not sure if that is for all four or just one pair.

"020. Tokico HP's 2006 - 2008 #hb2261 hb2262 fronts he2991 rear IN STOCK NOW $289.00"

 

^ i think its for the whole set i gave them a call once they said it was for the whole set and they have them in stock

I'm thinking of ordering a set.. but I have read mixed reviews on these. What is the benefit in your opinion over OEM shocks/struts? Would I personally benefit from getting these? Are they at all adjustable?

I am lowered on Tein S-Techs right now and I feel like I could use some new shocks/struts.. I have 30,000kms on my Fit now, and about 25,000kms on the springs.

Oh, and $289 including shipping as shox is offering free shipping on Koni and Tokico products right now.

 

$289 is for front struts AND rear shocks. They are NOT adjustable. Just a replacement with some extra valving. I'll post a review in another day or two. I'm getting my alignment tomorrow.

 

My car is a daily driver. Do the adjustable D-specs have settings that are softer than the regular blues or are they all harder?

 

Got my alignment and some miles put on my car today. I am running the Tokico's in the front with Eibach Pro kit springs. The rear of the car has Monroe airshocks with T1R v1 springs. I have added some weight to the car because of the stereo system so without an adjustable height spring, I needed the Monroe's. The Tokico's have ended up being nothing more than a good stock replacement strut. With that said, I was disappointed with them. I was counting on something with some extra strength in the valving.

 

Well, that's a little disappointing, but not entirely unexpected. The sad part to me is that the Tokico tech guy told me that it was damped better than stock. I forget his exact words, but I was looking forward to a noticable improvement.

I think for me, I'll wait a few more months for the D-Specs, although even those are somewhat in question now. At least the D-Specs are adjustable, so there's some control. I can only ASSume that the D-Specs would START their valving range at the Blue range and go up, but maybe somebody wants softer valving than the flacid stock OEM shocks/struts have.

I had good experience with Tokico blues on my FC....guess the same can't be said about the fit ones...

 

When are they comming out?? Need some dampers to go with my Skunk springs!!
