Tokico and Eibachs

Anyone have good, bad, indifferent thoughts about Tokico non adjustable shocks used with Eibach springs? For a 87 Turbo II. For spirited daily use.

If you are going to go with the HP's I would suggest going with the KYB AGX's and get some adjustability. These can be had for about $400.00 shipped. Let me know if interested.

The HP's would probably only save you $50.00 if that. You would really like the adjustability with your T2, dial in the steering just right for you.

Eibach is a good conservative well handling progressive spring. My favorite progressive when it comes to performance.

Good luck, Rishie

ARD T2....Thanks for the response. Someday I'll learn to ask questions before I buy. Did it **** backward. Bought the Tokico non-adjustables from Mazdatrix. Car acts a little strange, so I ordered the Eibach HP from the Mazdatrix site. The car had completly dead shocks on it. A pox on the guy who owned it prior to me. So I think maybe the springs are not working as they should, therefore Eibachs and a camber adjuster is ordered also. Right now the car feels odd on the hwy. I describe it as sort of a Jello feel. Lite Jello feel. Hard cornering it feels ok. Could be the feel is due to stiffer shocks. Lots of bushings to replace if the new springs don't make a difference. Springs and shocks are just not compatable right now.
