my research has warranted tokicos with eibach springs as a satisfactory and popular setup, although many would recommend the FRPP kit (which is practically the same as the eibach pro-kit). different people will recommend different setups for different action! what are your plans? is it a daily driver?

I agree with him. Thats a well priced and good quality setup, and I like the way it lowers your car. I plan on buying soon.

I'm in the same boat, I just picked up a set of Tokico D-Spec for $503 from hotpart.com -I hope they even my ride out a little.. I put on a pro-kit and the ride is almost unbearable on rough roads, but the car looks so good.

My car is a daily driver.

I currently drive with the front struts set at 4 turns out, the rears at 5 or 6 turns out.

Couldn't be ANY happier!

Well, a supercharger would actually be nice... but until then i'm pretty satisfied

I have the Pro-Kit installed, and just got the Tokico D-Specs put on today. I have them at 5 turns from full hard on front and back and the ride ismuch better than onstock shocks and struts. I'm going to fool with the settings in the coming days, I'll keep you posted on how they break in for me. I have a feeling I'll be happy with them, though. Next up is a supercharger, I don't give a crap how much debt I'll be in.

OK, I have them dialed 4 turns from hard in the front and 5 in the back with adecent (-much- better that stock) ride, really good street handling. I REALLY like this set-up!
