ZX2 Tokicos w/ stock springs
I know they are designed for the eibach springs, but was wondering if they will work ok with stock '94 escort GT springs. I don't want to alter my cars appearance in any way so lowering is not an option. Just wondering if anyone has tried this combo and what they think.

there's a difference on cablemircs car, even with stock wheels.

that is exactly it.....the cars susp is weak after 10 years...so it sags a bit....and it's easy for US as pro owners to tell ....but to a lot of people....it doesn't look lowered....unless you are parked next to the exact same car...i had stock replaced with the tociko/eibach combo and the handling was a bit better ....but i'm sure that it will make even more of a noticable diff when i put my sway and strut barz on ..and have my 50 pro falkens on .....
anyways..why don't you want the car to look lowered?

the 1.25" drop must have been a fluke......

Also, I want it to look like a stock shitbox when the turbo is on, that way mustang owners will get a REAL big suprise. It was my sisters college car so she beat the hell out of it, so i'm not interested in looks - just performance. I also like to do some rally style driving and like the ground clearance the way it sits.
