Tokico Coilovers? Opinions.
Does anyone have any info on them? What kind of spring rates can they handle? Durability? For $900 it seems like they could be a good entry level setup.

I do not want them now, but I'm looking ahead. I compete every now and then in STX and do quite well (never placed lower than 2nd), but I have yet to abstract the stock suspensions full ability. I'm currently getting my car prepared to start auto-x and tracking it pretty heavily (maintenence, finish paying off a few power mods and the like) and I figure in a year or so a new setup could be in the books. I also have over 70,000mi on the stock setup and I'm sure its not at peak condition either. Right now my money focus will be on tires and brake pads/fluid.
I basically just wanted to get some info on them. I also think it will be cool to tell high school girls that I got bling suspension for da twisties.

IMO, you're better off saving some $$$ and going with a tein/jic/zeal setup - it will favor a bouncy autox course better than a koni/gc setup or a tokico setup. I heard some not so favorable reviews of tokicos from the drivers of the car i crewed for at the 12hr summit point race a few weeks ago.

That's the kind of info I needed. I've been looking at the Zeal S6's and Buddy Clubs for a while. BC have bigger piston bodies but the Zeal's are aluminum. Decisions, decisions.... Oh wait scratch the decisions part, change to no money, no money....
