Tociko Non-Adj Shocks w/ Eibach Spring

hey i was gonna get this since the KYB AGX price went up on there 8 way adjustable. I was wondering about going with the tociko non-adjustable (blue ones) with some eibach springs. This is for 87 GXL, stock. I need shocks. And i wil aslo be getting a poly eurethane kit.

I would suggest the AGX and RSR Race Springs. Are you simply using this car for street or part track also?

Thanks, Rishie

Last week I had the blue Tokicos and Eibach springs put on my RX7 and the handling difference is like night and day over the old stock suspension and when I say old I am talking about 19 years. The newer suspension rides a little rougher than the old one but not by much.

Replacing the strut boots is a good idea.I was charged $80 for a set of four made by KYB.

I can do the eibach tokio combo as well. If you're in a pot hole ridden area then get the eibachs since they are progressive. Otherwise RSR Race springs are the way to go.

thanks everyone for their input.

how does racingbeat springs compare to the eibachs?

I am guessing the racingbeats will have a harsher ride?

have a great weekend everyone...
