hey thanks for letting us know!!!!

 

Woohoo! Just picked up the last set!!

 

You just beat me about 2 mins later and I would have had them!
Enjoy....

 

Wow, glad someone got some use out of my post... Glad to be of service

 

RXcetera: You Ba$tard,

 

called tokico, the springs rate is 195 front, 111 rear...isn't the front awful stiff???what do you guys think?...eibach are 145 front ( I think)...cjf

 

ps: I asked tokico how many sets they had, they told me they had a ton...I don;t think rxtera bought the last set (according to tokico) ...check the web site,,,they have a toll free # there to call...good luck....cjf

 

You callin me a liar??

I called that toll free # to order them. The part # is HPS5050. The lovely lady on the phone said this was the last set they had and the reason they where so cheap was because they where being discontinued. Hey, if she was wrong, that's a good thing for everyone right?

 

I just called and they said they were sold out

 

Might be a little stiff for the street,but some of the road racers are using 350 lbs fronts Eibach's are 171 front and 100 rear,R.B. are145 f. and 110 r. f.y.i. you may run into some understeer(push) with those on an autocross without any other changes.

 

wait a minute so that was for the complete set?not just the front or back?man i need springs bad,its so hard to just get some cheap springs,no one has theme,just performance springs.mine are chopped about 3",they suck,i want oem.hay rxcetera if thats a complete set will buy them off you for $100.quickest $25 you will ever make?

 

try rotary performance of virginia:

they got TMC for $139....I have heard good things about them...and they are the cheapest I have seen aside from the $75 tokicos I was too late to get.

 

I wonder why nobody goes with coilover kits... granted they're not exactly drop 'em on and go, but $30 for a pair of coilover adapters and $40 for a pair of springs, a little elbow grease adapting the coilover adapters, and the front is set. Screw the rear springs, stock is 100lb and if you need more roll stiffness than that, you have a choice of 15mm and 18mm rear stabilizer bars in the mechanic's shopping mall (aka junkyard).

 

My bad, not calling anyone a liar...my apoligies!!!!!

 

Did you not read my post?
I called also and they said they just sold the last set. If I was not looking for my credit card I would have been the owner of them.
O'well that is my luck, Always a day late and a dollar short.

 

Man, now I feel bad

 

It's All Good! We are all Family. But you still owe me a set of springs!
Ha Ha. Well, if I put a new set of spring under my GSL-SE and remove the stock 176,000 mile springs she might not know what to think and want me to do more like a new engine or something.
Well, enjoy them while you have them.

 

Umm, I wont bother telling you I didnt actually need them, I just couldnt pass up a deal like that... oops lol.

 

That was just mean ... sorry about that.

 

I say we all march up to Canadia and crack open a can of whoop *** on him. Who's with me.
