hey i wana purchase new shocks/springs for my 91 i was wondering are the tokico ones good give me some other options i should go with thats under 400 $

 

I have heard good things about crx struts from Koni, and you can probably find them for $350 if you look a little.

 

I've always rocked KYB AGX's great shocks, i had tokiko whites didn't like them as much, they were softer, or blow out already

 

tockico illuminas are a great shock for the money. adjustable

 

i'm going to assume by saying "shocks/springs" that you are looking at one of Tokico's complete kits.



i'm using a Tokico suspension kit on my '90 EE2, and i've been relatively happy with it. rides very well, handles well. didn't drop the car very much, so if you desire a "slammed" look, i'd go elsewhere.

also, i'd suggest getting the Illumina kit over the HP kit. i got the HP (blue) kit because of the price, and though it has worked very well, i wish i had paid the minor premium for the adjustability of the Illumina kit.

I have these shocks with dropzone springs.. 2.25 front 2.5 back. rolling with 17" looks pretty nice and the wheel gap is like 1 finger in the front and tops 2 on the back

 

Im using KYB AGXs with some noname coilovers. The shocks made the biggest diff outa it all but worth every penny in these old EFs imo.

 

Me and a friend had sets of tokico blue shocks. They suck and blew out quickly. My car wasn't even dropped. If you got $400 to spend just save till you get $600 and look for the tien basic coilover. THat's what I did and I'm very happy.

 

I've been running my crx hard on Tokico Illumina's since '92, and have come the the conclusion that they're bulletproof. I absolutely love them.

On a side note note:
Does anyone know where I can source another set of new illuminas for my other crx? (pref someone that'll ship internationally)
