Looking to see if these will work well with the Skunk2 Lowering Springs. I have already searched and did not get a straight up confirmed answer.

I am looking to install these before I buy new tires and I do need tires soon. If someone can let me know, thanks.

 

Yes, Tokico HP shocks will work with the Skunk2 springs. Keep in mind that Tokico HPs are meant to be used at stock replacements, not for performance. They won't last too long when lowered. I recommend the Tokico Illumina or the Koni Sport (Yellow).

 

Thanks, that is what I was looking for. I wanted something that was meant to be used with lowering springs.

 

You're welcome...

 

when are the hitachi (tokico) HTC's coming out? get those

 

I cannot find an online vendor for the Tokico Illumina's. Anyone care to help? =)

 

ebay store?

 

Already checked

 

the tokico d-specs should be coming out in november. at least that's the last i heard from tokico.

 

those are the HTC or HTP's watnot, right? Are they releasing
them as "D-Specs" as official name?

 

I am hoping to get whatever ones I get for less than 400 bucks.

 

JDMxGE8,

I am curious to know your experience with Tokico products? From my personal experience, I've owned a few sets of Tokico "Blues" on different cars over the years and have found them to be much more then just an OEM replacement. They are designed to fit as an OEM product, but clearly have a much different dampening characteristic than OEM, and when matched with a sport or race spring, they can really make your car feel nice and tight in the twisty's. Tokico Illumina's are a step up in that you have adjustable dampening, allowing some of us weekend racers to kick ass at the track, then drive home comfortably. Buddies of mine still have cars with sets of Tokico HP's that are over five years old, with no problems at all. I just wanted to provide my two cents on the subject.
