Celica Forums General Discussion Engine and Performance new TOKICO HP shocks!

WOW, i have to say this is prolly the BEST mod i have invested in and i have to many mods to list...

Tokico Hp shocks are awesome, i didnt expect much change from just shocks but my ride is stif and the car just feels so much better!

now that im addicted to suspension...

NEXT MOD ON LIST:
sways (prolly just rear at first)

cool nice mod

I suggest hotchkis street sways...or if you don't mind a harsh ride get the comp. sways.

nice. where did you get them from and how much?

350 installed from RacingZone autohouse...

local shop where i get all my parts from!

yeah i have the complete suspension set the shocks and springs and i love the they feel good

wow, i went out driving tonight with my friend on all the curvey roads we have out here in orlando!

aftermarket shocks are AWESOME... definitely my overall #1 mod i have done to my car
so much more fun to drive now

I'll have to get some of those soon.

Excellent bmw52786, couldn't wait to hear the results. Did the ride height of your car stay exactly the same as before with the stock shocks?

Also, how is it when you go over a pothole .. does it jolt the car or is it ok? Is the car still bouncey or all that is gone now?

Would really appreciate your input on those areas.

i have the same ones sitting here in a box next to my hotchkis springs. I want them on so bad, i am not good enough to do it myself and my helping friend has been too busy lately

I put on the Tokico shocks and springs last April. I still love them. Lowered the car 1.25", really looks and drives much better. Ride is excellent on good roads, and good on bad roads. You do feel big bumps more, especially with my 40's on, but it is minor. It was money well spent.

were'd you buy your shocks? and how much?

ya the ride height stayed exactly the same but it was already lowered with my tein s-tech springs!
when i had stock shocks every little bump i would go over including potholes would make my whole car jolt or my cd skip so i was starting to get very annoyed with that... now that i have my aftermarket shocks the ride is so much better, the car takes bumps a lot better and smoother!
now on to bouncey... with the shocks it feels like the car is so much stifer and you just have so much more control, its awesome!

compared to my stocks shocks i dont feel bumps as much anymore...

I got them from Titan Motorsports. Bought the shock/spring combo for $425 shipped. Stuff was delivered in 3 days. Titan has awesome service.

me too...unless its a big bump, or a pothole, then its more noticeable, but thats because of the stiffer ride. No complaints here at all

Heighth drop was 1.25, which is just right for me. Leveled out the back too.

Is this in gainesville or orlando?

orlando, close to UCF

sweet man... i have the Tokico suspension set up too...

2 locations...

i dont no much about sways...

what do yall suggest, would just a rear sway be enoung or should i get both front and rear??? or should i just get the front...

anyone???

sways comes both front and rear. get hotchkis or trd sways

i no they come both front and rear, thats y i asked if i only got one which one would help the most???

They are sold in a set...

but the more beneficial would be the rear sway to promote oversteer since our cars are FWD. the front sway is to promote better turn in but the celi already does that well stock...our slalom times are pretty good out of the box

thanks ct

no prob
