tokico stuff...

i need some advice on a shock and spring combo. i was thinking of some tokico illumina shocks (i've got kyb agx's on my eclipse and i like the adjustability) and some tein s-tech springs... but i found this deal on ebay
and it looks pretty good... i'm just not sure about the tokico springs. does anyone know if they're any good? should i let my wallet lose a bit of weight and pick these up?

they look good to me. I've not used tokico springs but if they really are tokico springs and not some $40 spring combo the seller throws in there then I bet you'll love it.

That is the set up I have on my Miata, Tokico Illuminas & matched springs. I think we did some research and found out that Tokico's springs are actually made by Eibach. It's a good quality combo!

sweet. hopefully the springs are the real deal. anyone know where i can get a camber kit? actually... anyone know good online places that specialize in nice go-fast parts for mazda? protege garage was the only one i knew about, and apparently it's closed down.

update: holy sweet jesus. dude wants $169 for shipping to hawaii. my kyb's only cost me $70 through the post office. damn...

Camber kit? I haven't used one of those....whenever we've done suspension work we take the cars in for an alignment.

ok... just bought a set of tein s-techs off ebay. besides getting an alignment after i install them... does anyone recommend that i get a set of better shocks right away, or will the stock mazda shocks be fine for now? also, i think i saw roddimus prime post something about not needing a camber correction kit if the drop isn't more than 2". am i right about that?
