Stock shocks with Neuspeed Sports VS. Tockico Blue (HP) with Neuspeed Sports.

Originally I had neuspeed sports with stock shocks and the ride was like stock, very comfortable....and then the shocks started leaking and the ride degraded signifigantly. This took about 3 months to happen and the ride degraded slowly so it was hard to notice.

Now I have Tockico Blues with the same neuspeed sports and the ride is firm. Very firm. Too firm for me. Nothing like the stock shocks with neuspeed. These tockico shocks definately are stiffer. Not sure if its because my stock shocks were dying but I find them too stiff with the neuspeeds.

I think I am going to try Tein S Tech springs now. They are not as low as the neuspeeds (1.75/1.5) but mine seem to be as low as some ppl with race. Looks almost like a 2.0 drop with 1 finger gap. The teins shouldn't be as low which is a sacrifice I will have to make for a smoother ride.

I've got tokico's with stock springs, my g/f's suspension is completely stock. Like you i can tell how the tokico's are firmer than the stock ones, but then i don't feel like i'm bouncing around all over the place... as for your comparision, i'm having the neuspeed sports installed later today so i'll have a better reference to your current setup. Good luck with the S tech's... a lot of ppl like em.

stock+sport = bounce like hell when you hit a bump

tokico+sport = much firmer ride and better handling

aight i got them on and i love the way it rides! It is stiffer with these springs on but i'd say the shocks made the ride stiffer than the springs did. Combined, the ride is firm, but i would not call it harsh. They're (the springs) are actually lower than i expected them to be... then again i gots 205/60/15's so that could contribute to the lack of wheel gap.

I've noticed that its stiff and does not bottom out which is a good thing. I guess it depends what kind of road conditions you drive. In the city during stop and go rush hour with potholes it is too harsh (Toronto downtown) but on the highway and suburbs where roads are smooth it is amazing.

speed also seems to be a factor, the faster you go the smoother it is.

you cant really count a smooth road cuz a rented u-haul truck is smooth on a smooth road, you need to get out and really test it get on a semi bad road with lots of curves then you'll notice the real diffrence
