Default Toda Fightex Coilovers for sale...one of the very few in America

I have a friend that just installed his, but due to the extreme stiffness he's having second thoughts and wants to sell them..heres some pics
The spring rate on them are 8/12k....great set of coilovers, they rebound extremely fast, car handles like a dream, much more solid than mine does on my Teins but it may be too stiff for some...




look at those dope *** upper pillowball mounts..seems much more solid than my Teins

Maybe a dumb question, but. Do the DC5 suspension set-ups work in the EP3?

I think you might have to get RSX Tie Rod ends for it to match up on the EP3 properly, not sure though.

8/12 will ride fine in an ep3/rsx--well within daily drivability limits. Just leave the shocks at a somewhat soft setting and you'll be fine.

With the Flex's I had, if I cranked them all the way up, the back end would move just a very little bit. On full soft, you could obviously tell the back was much softer.

If the Fightex are valved that stiff, there isn't anything you can do for ride quality. Maybe go down on springrates, but that still won't help a stiffly valved shock too much.
