Thumbs up Shocking news..
Changing your shocks from blown stocks to brand new tokicos (or any for that matter) is the godliest feeling!

I've been riding on blown stock shocks for like a year and finally when I change em to new tokicos I swear it's like a brand new car! The ride is great! The comfort is unexplicable.

Just thought I'd share

I know the feeling. Just put the Progress coilovers on 2 weeks ago and ran fairly well at Nurburgring today. Here's the video

When the ring opens back up in the spring you'll have some more video. I'm going on a weekday next time so there isn't nearly as much traffic.
