i installed these 2 weeks ago and drop in back but not in the front. they're tokico springs, came wit 5-ways off modacar. they suck!

Not doubting your install skills and I'm not claiming to be a susp. install expert - but are you sure you have the springs in their proper place Front & Rear, not Rear & Front?
And were all the shocks (5 way adjustables) set to the same settings before making any adjustments?

WangChung

well, the fronts cant go on the rear, they are smaller. and wut u mean by ur second question?

B( * Y * )BIES

you had mentioned in your 1st post they, "came wit 5 way" so I thought you meant 5 way adjustable shocks. ??

i thought the front springs have to be larger....consideing the engine is in the front and all the weight is in the front.......my .02

I had that setup on my old hatch. I took the springs off after a week and bought groundcontrols. I agree.... tokico springs suck!

cleanASScoupe

the fronts r bigger. u may have 'em backwards? lol

I t hink your stuff is backwards. The spring should have a F or R on it. thats front and rear... take another look. Modacar is good...

Tokico "springs"!? I have their "shocks", and, IMO, they're great, but I've never
heard of them making springs. To the original poster: sometimes, (depending
on the car), the wheel well HEIGHT will cause an optical illusion; in most cases
they'll be higher in front, for obvious reasons. Check it with a tape measure:
with a friend, get him to align his end to the top of the rear well, and then you
do the same with the front. Get your g/f to take a picture and let US see.
BTW... I ALSO think Modacar's fairly decent; definately RELIABLE. Inline4's
better, though, IMO.

How much were they

deftones0817

dude i dont know what you are talking about if its rougher its suppose to be...i spent 700 bucks on my tokico 5 way adjustable coilovers and man they kick ****....sure its rougher but damn it corners much better and i love them dont tell everyone not to buy them because you dont like them. That is just a bad post. sell them get something else but dont turn off other people that would like a good shock and spring for a good price. Blah. You didnt even say why they suck...you cant just spread propagranda (sp) with out backing it up with proof so a picture of your car sitting still and you saying they suck means that they are bad...get real you probably didnt know they would make your ride rougher...but any drag racing shock/spring will make you car ride rougher...F*CKING NEWBIE dont hate on good sh*t

ps maybe you need an alignment....

chill man, i just said they suck cuz they lower it like ****! the fronts have f and the rears say r btw.

WangChung

im talkin about the springs, the shocks are good in my book.

FifthGearOnline

umm.....are you SURE you installed those correct?

powerofdreams8

i don't know if tokico shocks work the same a koni, but konis have a cup that the spring sits in... You may have the cup upside down.

Airbag Club

seems like it is just asking to get a B-series drop to weigh down the front end

Tokico springa don't lower a car that much from what I heard to keep it from blowing the shock. think someone already posted something similar. And the if it's the tokico 5 way with the coilover combo you definetly wont go that low from what I hear

WangChung

im possitive, i just checked, i can see the righting

deftones0817

all im saying is i like these springs and shocks...you dont need to make a post called dont ever buy these springs...maybe they werent good for you but you should make a post with your complaints not dont buy these that sucks! It doesnt help anyone on here that is looking at them and i know a few people me included that like them...

isotopesope

is the lower spring perch on the front shocks removeable? due to the incredibly detailed, well written instructions that come with konis (plus getting the wrong instructions and being a hasty moron), when i installed my springs on my koni yellows i put the perch thing on upsidedown on the front. so after i was done with the install my car about the looked the same. i guess the extremely difficult job i had recompressing the spring to reassemble the shock and spring should've told me something... i called up koni and the rep said the perch needs to look like a bell on the shock, not a cup. oops. ka-pow!!

ELUD THS

hmm..

WangChung

no the perches are stationary. thats another cool thing about koni's they are partially ride height adjustable.
