Tokico 5 way setting

What setting do those who have these out there run?

Please state your application, street, auto-x, etc.

Thanks!

I run on setting 4 daily.....put them all to 5 for aut-x. But i'm canning the tokiko shocks and racing beat springs in favor of a JIC FLT-A2 set up.

Yo,


I ran #4 at Thunderhill, both on the front and back. I'm running #4 on the street as well. Firm, but not overly harsh.

Yep. There's verrry little that suprises me but DAMN can someone please explain to me the reason these FLT-A2
cost so much??? I mean the Endless/zeals are'nt much better either...in price anyways. I could see $100-250 a pop. But $500 ea!!!!!!!!!!! Hell, let's go w/ a Ti 505 exhaust too while were @ it... throw in the energysuspensions polyurethane bushings also.BTW all the above listed are available for 2nd & 3rd gens.

For road race you want the front to be stiffer than the rear a little bit or else the rear will come out too easily under throttle. Set the front at 5 and the rear at 3, if it understeers too much for you, set the rears at 4

My car is my daily driver and I live in SF, where the roads are rough. I have mine set at 3 up front and 1 in the rear. Nice and comfy. I also just bought a pettit front sway bar and a tri point rear sway bar that I have yet to install. I'm trying to reduce the body roll from my soft-ish suspension.
