Tokico's came in today

Well UPS came to my door today with a package I've been waiting 2 years to receive. Every time I would write Tokico I'd get the same reply "well they're almost done." I didn't want to destroy my factory front struts with Koni's or go through the hassle of getting other stock struts to destroy. Plus I don't need the adjustability of Konis since I don't track my car that much. If I was heavy into autocrossing I probably would have gotten the Koni's long ago. I'll write a full review and even a DIY when I install them. It will probably be friday before they are installed, gotta get the car outta the tranny shop first. Anyways, on with the pics.

no, I'll have to use the stock ones but that's not a problem, they did come with new nuts for the top though, those I will use.

Also, I was told that the body of the Tokico struts are a little shorter than the OEM struts which would lower the car more. Can you take a pic of the OEM Strut next to the Tokico one to see if there is a height difference? Thanks.

I got mine the other day, and installed them yesterday. My car is at the shop now for an alignment. But they went in easy and ride great!

Yeah id really like to know if they are any shorter than stock. So If I have eibach sportlines and get the tokico's and the tokico's are shorter, does that mena my rides gonna be lower? Cause that would be awesome I wouldnt mind it about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch lower. I wanna know what the ride is like compared to stock shocks especially if anyone is using them with the sportlines.

A shorter strut isnt going to make your car lower when the suspension is compressed.
