Durn it!! ... Al I need is the Showa struts... I have the Swift springs.. I like the rear shocks I have on it now, just would like more control on the front.... In hot weather the stock struts lose the ability to dampen, not too cool when making quick changes in direction..... Good Luck to you guys at Tojo Garage.... I can see you are working to provide top notch state of the art parts and equipment to the FitFreak market.

Thanks.

For everyone who got price quotes, that is without a group buy. If there is interest we can get one started.

I will ask J L to post up pics of his car, since he received a set a few weeks ago.

Your car is looking good J L.

Anyone that is willing to buy a set within the next week private for a special price. Ship leaves Japan in a couple of weeks if anyone is interested now is the best time to order.

Any pics of the GE8 on this suspension. Also looking for any opinions on the quality of the ride and handling.

To the OP can I get the price for GE8 setup shipped to 30096

The dampers are not sold separately.

Here's a pic with the stock 16s (stock tires)


Here's a pic with 15s (falken azenis 205-50-15)


The ride is nice for daily driving and for taking corners it dampens well. I haven't been able to autox or track them yet but from what I've seen with the Showa tuned dampers they handle well for light racing use.

I've sent you a PM.
