Tokico HP's with Eibach Prokit springs???

Im getting a set of Eibach springs, I was gonna get KYB AGX's but due to money(HP's are over $100 less) I was thinking of going with Tokico HP's. I do a lil street racing here and there maybe the track every once and a while and Im gonna start autocrossing once every couple months. How do you think these will do???
Thanks

should be fine. ive been considering a similar setup, but i want height adjustment, so will probably dump the extra cash for coilovers.

whats wrong with Racing beats?

i too am getting the HPs -- good value.

im going to go with the racing beat springs, and front and rear sway bar.

if you buy the package (springs+sway bars) you save 50 bucks or so.

For what you want to do with the car, the adjustabilty of the AGX's are worth the extra 100. Just save up a little more. I have that set up on mine, and I can adjust it not only for the track, but also for the difference in how the shocks react between cold and warm weather. May not be a problem in Florida, it is in the midwest.

I too am useing Tokico "blues" along with Eibach prokit springs on all four corners. Ride hieght is about .75 drop, not too much. Ride quality is going to suffer slightly but only because of the stiff springs. If you are into driving your vehicle than you'll like this setup. It's nice a tight and perfect for the street and some mild track events.

If I get the KYB's do they adjust for a smoother ride then the blues for just driving around town or long trips?

I have the Tokico HPs in the front with stock springs and to be honest I didn't find it that easy to tell that the difference between them and the stock shocks. I'm pretty sure they're billed as being a little stouter than stock and in my experience that seems to be the case.

KYB's have the ajustable series (AGX) so you can buy those for adjustability.
Tokico have the Illumina's for ajustability if you still wanna keep with that brand and save a little money.
