I just upgraded to Eibech Prokit springs and Tokico shocks and am extreemely pleased with the result. The SC400 handles great.

Oldmonk, while I did not measure the height before (didn't think of it) the upgrade, I have seen many posts and when talking to those who known these kinds of things, say 1" is about the drop you'll see. Here is a pic before the upgrade. Can you tell the difference?

Thumbs up Nice drop!

Yes, I can see it is a subtle drop. This is what I am looking to do to my car.
I am trying to decide between Tokicos or OEM shocks.
I want to retain as much of a comfotable ride as possible.
