Rep Power: 0 Sorry buddy.... Tokicos aren't ever gonna be out for our cars... Konis and OEM are the only shocks available for our cars. Then again you could always get full suspension w/ Teins n such... Thats if you have the $$$.

Rep Power: 412 there is no link. it was on the site a few weeks ago because someone found them on ebay. KYB doesn't offer an online parts list for each car unless you download something. it kinda blows.

Rep Power: 0 I have Konis on my car and I love it. The only down fall is that the front shocks require cutting of the original housing to fit the konis. Also, on the bottom of the front shocks, the bolt comes loose after a few months of driving and requires to be tightened over and over. Besides that, Konis are the way to go. Besides, you got a lifetime warrenty on them, so you only need to purchase one set for the rest of your car's life.

Rep Power: 0 Ever since the first day I was a member on this site (February 2002), Tokico was saying that they would come out with something. First they'd say it would come out in Fall of 2002. In the summer, they said probably October. In October, they said It will be January. After January of this year I started to care less about that the he11 Tokico had to say. If they would have produced performance shocks for our cars, I think they'd be outselling Konis right now...
