TOKICO Gas Shocks
I have a general question on the TOKICO brand of gas shocks for the Lexus SC400. The TOKICO part numbers that I am asking about regard the competition shocks: HU3452 (Front), and HU3453 (Rear).
My 93 SC400 has old and probably tired factory shocks up front. I do not have any negative comments to say about these shocks even though it appears that they have 70K~ miles on them. None the less it is probably time that they be changed as the rears were changed recently.
That said, can those here that are running the TOKICO shocks please give me some feedback on them. How do they feel? What has your experience been with them? My local Lexus dealer will install them BTW with no qualms at all.
The TOKICO website is www.tokicogasshocks.com

tokico/eibach setup feels like stock with the stock tires/rims. oddly, enough, when i took out the stock shocks/struts, engraved on it was tokico. btw, i had 40k on the car before i changed the stock setup.
with the above setup, i only noticed a very slight harsh ride when i went from the stock 16 x7 rims to 18 x 8.5 rims. however, it handles way better with more meat to the ground and the 1" drop from the eibach is just right for an area filled with potholes. definately worth the price. the only problem i had was noise with the eibach springs in the rear which you can search through the suspension and handling section for the problem and solution.
