Thanks! Roads are poor here in MA. With the bad roads will you consider going to (or trying) the full 7.5. Is there a downside to full 7.5, such as not enough dampening (possibly get too much rebound/bouncing or float on the highway?)

...appreciate your input, ty, Jim

 

I would think going softer than 4 turns would put you back where the factory struts are. Then why bother to change?

 

What I am asking is if 7.5 (full soft) will deliver a softer ride that OE (have stock front; I do have ProKit coils in the rear only and would like to soften that in particular) A bit softer than OE all around would probably be what I would be most satisfied with but I don't know if the 7.5 (full soft) will accomplish that. (This is mainly being asked because of poor road conditions in my area.)

 

I got 20's, and I wanted to go this route also, any words of wisdom for me???

I don't have any first hand experience with them just yet.......but seems like setting the Toki's to softer than OE shocks would make the ride much more compliant (assuming your aftermarket spring rates aren't horribly mismatched with the shocks). I'd imagine at some point you'd almost end up with Crown Vic caliber softness It is something I fully intend to try once they are on. But I'll most likely end up setting them somewhere between 3 and 5 (from full hard). I want something close to OE ride compliance, but slightly stiffer. With all the other suspension-stiffening hardware that's going onto my undercarriage, I don't necessarily need my shocks to be set very stiff to get the kind of handling performance I'm looking for.

But it will be nice to set the Toki's up to a softer setting for long trips. I'd just take care if going with a significant ride drop not to set them too soft where you may possibly bottom out somewhere.[:@]

 

why doesnt anyone use the tokico lowering springs with the shocks/struts they offer???, or is it better just to go with the eibach pro-kit.
I was thinking about this set up, because you get everything in a kit. any comments would be appreciated

I don't think they are available. At least I've never seen tokico springs for sale anywhere.

 

Yes, Tokico offers a full shock/strut/spring setup, BTW.
I have the ProKit springs on my ride with 20s and I'm in with the guys above...love to hear about the full soft setup for a plusher ride. Someone with D-Specs MUST have tried theirs at "7". Come on, give us the skinny. I'm looking for a more compliant ride but would like to hear if I can get it with the Tokicos before I shell out the cash.

 

I have and it made the car way to floaty like a Cadillac and it made the car feels as though the wheels were coming off the ground on big dips. It was way to soft. My wife however loved it when they were set on soft.

carefull floaty + lowered + bump = too much tavel and Thump.....
