rome03 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 What's wrong with KYB shocks. I don't plan on doing any autox. I just want it sitting low. Can I just section the stut housing for the KYB and us ground control coilovers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Yes. But, you need to section to an available shock length. It would suck to section only to find out that you cut too short! The back is easy-just section to the length of a front shock and insert a stock front shock in the rear shortened tube. For the fronts you can either run a shock out of a MR2 (year? Front or rear?) or a vw rabbit (year? Front or rear?). I don't know what year those need to come from. I would just talk to johnc and buy front konis from him and be done with the fronts. But don't cut till the shocks are in your hands. The issue of shock brand is a totally separate discussion. Since you are sectioning, you can run any shock that fits and any spring that fits. If you are lowering for looks, all this spring rate and dampened valving is just so much esoterica. The shocks just gotta fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dershum Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Not to bring a dead horse back from the grave (Halloween is around the corner however), has anyone heard about availability of Tokico's springs yet? Christmas is coming, and I was hoping Santa would order me a set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooger82 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Well they are searching for a company to house the line, so doesn't look like Santa will be that kind this year, sorry Maybe some more news will come out of SEMA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dershum Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Whelp, checked with MSA...and I quote: "We hear a lot of rumors but no news whatsoever. Sorry." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooger82 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Update on this one. Looks like Motovicity Distribution over in Michigan has decided to take over the assembly and distribution of Tokico. So looks like we should see shocks going back into the market in just a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know of retailers with tokico back in stock? Id love to replace my oem kyb's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Just posted a pair of tokicos in the for sale forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 MSA is probably the only Tokico dealer that will step back up. I knew about 5 Tokico dealers and WDs and all bailed on the company a few years ago. I don't know how Tokico will get them back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
