Good Price on tokico HP (blue) struts
I cruised the web and the best site for 'em was:
www.hopupracing.com $360/shipped. I will report on when they arrive. WooHoo! Another level of handling - i can't wait! :blue: |
that place looks like a heaven!! :drool:
sucks nothing is made for a 99 protege.... bastadios hope its not a scam good luck :bt: |
Confidence is high. It is not a squiffy ebay walk-in-the-dark...
[watching for the mailman...] |
Uh, i saw other pro models/years too at the site. The Tokicos seem pretty 'universal' (most struts are. If you are not lower already - get the package.
|
hey, i just bought tien springs for my 00 ES and ive been looking for some quality struts at a good price...this beats anything ive seen so far...definately keep us posted on whether or not this site is a scam...
|
i got the shipping notice.... waiting...
|
uh oooooooohhhhhh!
whats goin on? |
I gotta get sone for my girls 1999 when I find some rims I plan on doing the springs and struts at the same time.
|
so, i gathered up and ordered the Tokico HP from jdmwerks13 on ebay for 359/shipped.
I would like to know, from who have installed this, what and how much difference it makes over stock springs. Right now i'm on a setup with TEIN-S techs with stocker strusts and the struts are going bad, (perfect timing one might say) and i'm getting a lot of body lean when i'm hard cornering. also, does the HP's do anything to the ride height at all? i'm sure it doesn't, but i still wanted to ask to make sure. thanks in advance, |
WooHoo!
Got 'em yesterday (i played hooky and got them while i was doing the brakes...). Good response - good dealer - i'd recommend them. centsless- They won't affect ride height (springs do that). They are only slightly firmer than OEM - but still very comfortable to drive. The car feels 'tighter' now (in a good way!). BTW: My front driver's side strut was blown. 68K on the car with ~10K on the lower springs ... They should match well with the springs you have. Do it. |

Do it. i'm at aroung 15k on the Teins on stock strust and they are almost shot. good to know that the ride is very firm, i'm looking forward for that. thanks once again, |
Uh oh. I have a 'rattle' from the left rear now... I am quites sure everything was tight...
Could it be the strut 'cover' i transfered over to the new strut? If it is 'loose' would the strut cylinder body hit it if it was too 'low'? |
hopupracing and ptuning .com rule.
Good choice |
