Anybody know...

... when (or if) Tokico's planning on coming out with a strut/spring kit for the 7th gen civic? I'm itching bad to do a quality drop on my 04, but if Tokico's planning a kit, then I'll wait. I used to have the Tokico hp kit on my 91 Si, and after experiencing that set-up I'd be more than happy to wait.

Do you mean full coilovers. Tein has coilovers that use tokico shocks, and also Hayame coilovers use tokico shocks. As far as tokico springs and shocks, none out yet.

No, I'm not interested in coilovers. I know Tokico doesn't make the springs yet, but I figured since they've finished developing and manufacturing the struts that it'd only be a matter of time before they develop the springs to match.

I never knew Tein uses Tokico shocks, are you sure ?

I know Hayame uses Tokico.

hmmm... I didn't know Tein's shocks were Tokico units. That does make the coilovers more enticing. I was originally thinking about going with the Tein Basic, but I honestly have no use for sleeved shocks. I really don't feel like having to re-adjust my entire suspension geometry just so I can say "Ya, I've got Tein coilovers." The nice thing about the Tokico branded set-up was that it gave a comfortable drop while staying within the limits of the stock suspension geometry. I'm tempted to just get tein S-tech (or even H-tech) or Eibachs and putting them on the new hps. I've still got a little under 5 years worth of payments left so I'm in no real hurry. If Tokico's comin out with a kit I might as well wait.

You want a matched shock/spring set. Call tokico and ask them. I wouldn't bother waiting for a matched set. Just get the shocks and a set of springs. Same thing.
