Default Suspension/DRL Questions

Hey guys - A couple quick questions for you. Ive done some research but similar threads havent quite answered my questons.

I bought a CPO Black 2010 350 with the luxury package about a week back. I've since ordered eibach pro lowering springs and done a few cosmetic things. I am looking to buy new shock/struts in the next week and will most likely be pulling the trigger on the Tokico HTS set. Does anyone have any experience with this set up? Maybe I am just looking in the wrong place but they do not seem to be made to fit lowering springs - that being said I realize how mild the eibach set is.

I've read the lengthy review with them on an ISF but I was curious if there were other experiences. Any input would be great.

Once you do run this setup please give a good review. I have been thinking of doing the exact same shocks but with swift springs.

Hopefully there will be some good feedback as most seem to have/want coilovers. I don't have the need for ride height adjustability and don't want to worry about rebuilding them.

Tokico HTS should be aftermarket lowering spring capability. It is a sport shocks afterall. If your not going to go coils then tokico or koni shocks should do the trick.

I've had a set of Koni FSD's on my previous car and they did not support lowering springs - just looking to verify before making that move. Im not looking to lower much at all so I cant really justify coils.

I'm going to reach out to the seller tomorrow to get some more info.

Sold the eibachs to a friend - Went ahead and bought swifts and Tokico blues. They're a little bit cheaper but from what I have read here on CL they'll do the trick.

I'll follow up with my thoughts in a few weeks.
