do tokicos settle out?

VinhTEC · 08-20-2004

I got my tokicos in and i put my nuespeed race springs on them and installed it. After some major setbacks with the strut bearings i managed to get everything together. I used to have 1 finger of gap inbetween the wheel well and the tire all the way around the car (205/45/17) and now it has like no gap in the front.....The backkkkk on the other hand looks like i am about to go to a rally race................... what is going on, it settled out a little more and now it only has 3 fingers of gap but that is a gigantic diffrence from the way it was. I kno my car is going to handle weird but could i have installed it worng in the back, any hints or tips guys i am about to tear it down agian if it don't settle out more and i really don't want to do that ahhhhhh
Any help from ppls that have tokicos anything ahhhhhhhhhh

I didn't have any difference in the rear when I put my tokico's in. I only have the rear installed too. I guess just double check everything in the rear and make sure it's all in right.

VinhTec, it should settle to about 1 to 2 finger spacing. Did you trim the bumpstops ? Perhaps you might want to contact clownprince. He is on the same set up as you.

Struts do not settle.

if you had the neuspeeds on stock shocks, then they were probably weekend and hence, lower than they were supposed to be. Like slowvic said, shocks/struts don't settle.

wait you went from a 1 finger gap all around to a 0/3 finger gap? i'm assuming the 1 finger gap was with stock shocks? sounds like you installed the rears wrong somehow. that would cause the weight to transfer up to the front and drop the front even lower

the back settled out more so now i got like less than one finger gap in the front and like 2 in the back i guess it settled out!!!!!????
