I have sedan, I want lowering springs, but I also want Tociko HP... and I dont want a sagging rear end. WHat should I do??

I know this has potential of being locked or whatever, but I just want to know the truth.

As Zzyzx would say handling of (performance shocks + stock springs) > (stock shocks + performance springs)

What year is your sedan?

Go with Neuspeed Sports with the Tokicos. I have that combo on my sedan and it works great. And, no sag.

Tokico Hp are much better than stock shocks and if your car is a 2002 you will have no problem with fitment.

So they work well with Neuspeed sports. I was always unsure that the couldn't handle the drop of the neuspeed sport. Neuspeed sport on the coupe drops 1.7 inches in the front and 1.5 in the rear. Is it the same for the Sedan?

^^^ I was under the same impression... I feel it's pretty much pushing the Tocikos to the limit. yes, the same rated drop level is the same for sedan and coupe for Neuspeed race and sport.

They work well with the Eibach sportlines. Cubanmike26 has that setup on his civic coupe. Neuspeed's sports are a bit cheaper and drop looks nice.

Another one of my concerns is, is the drop even on both sides, left and right?

I suggest the neuspeed sports as well. They have a set specifically designed for the sedan which doesn't make the rear sag at all. And it's a perfect combo with the Tokico HP's.

you can drop as low as you want on the tokico blues. they only recommend a 1.5-1.7" drop, not required. your gauranteed best performance within that range of drop. your even fine with a 1" drop to 3", (not sure how tokico works with the warranty on the blues tho it can be voided), but the 1.5/1.7 drop is just a recommendation by tokico themselves and that range of drop is at the point for best results/performance of the struts.


as for rears sagging, it seems like thats known for sedans because some springs are maybe meant for coupes rather than sedans.
