Tokico question

[guitar]

Ok, so the guy i bought the car from said i have tokico springs/struts but i was wondering exactly how much it lowered my car (if any at all). And i wondering what would be a better option for suspension.

i know tokico makes struts, but he must be confused about the springs, i have tokico struts and eibach springs, there are also intrax lowering springs or you can hack moog cargo coils to make them lower. if there eibach they'll say it on the top near the strut tower. if there intrax i believe they are a purple spring.

Intrax are purple. that is correct.

Tokico no longer makes struts for our car. Just FYI.

k because im looking at getting some 17x 7.5 or 18x7.5 rims. Do you think ill run into clearance issues?

 

[K-Dawg]

Not due to the springs. Just make sure the offset is in the 38-42mm range or so.

You may need to "roll" the quarter panels a little. I have 17x7.5 on mine and had a little rub, I just rolled the quarters a bit and its fine now.

I had to do that in the rear for mine when i put my 17's on. And i'm running a 245-45-17 tire

sounds like too much work lol

Driver's side rear has the tightest fit. If your wheels/tires fit ok there, it will be ok everywhere else. GEN1 has least amount of room, GEN3 has the most.
