Miles Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 While searching the web for a good price on Tokico Performance struts for my 240Z I came across two dealers that sell Tokico suspension kits. Each kit includes a set of Tokico Performance struts and a set of Tokico springs. I emailed each dealer and asked them to confirm the type of struts included and the spring rates. If they are the same springs that MSA sells then they should be 140#/in. front and 165#/in. rear. Here are the dealers and the prices for the kits: Direct Source Outlet located in San Diego, CA. 1-800-877-1911 HPK251 kit with non-adjustable struts: $380.97 ILK252 kit with adjustable Illumina struts: $591.97 Link: http://www.ajusa.com/cgi-bin/tokico/products?ajr_skey=f46b4ed5b716e6cc2ffdabbc02b1cff0 Spliting Imagez located in Irwindale, Ca. 1-866-358-8799 HPK251 kit with non-adjustable struts: $363.38 ILK252 kit with adjustable Illumina struts: $541.78 Link: http://www.splittingimagez.com/contact.htm Has anyone bought this kit or done business with these dealers?

Bartman Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 I purchased an HPK251 kit a couple of months ago. The front springs are definitely progressive not linear. You can tell by inspection, and Tokico confirmed this. They also said that the springs are the same in both kits. I wound up reselling my kit and purchasing coilovers. As long as you are okay with getting progressive springs, then it's probably a good deal. Search for discussions in regards to progressive springs and you'll find a great deal of posts regarding them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Just looked on ebay and saw you can get the hp kit for #321.00 plust 15 shipping and handling. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7938110482&category=33590 I have heard of a few people ordering these kits with success but as bartman pointed out make sure you read up on progressive vs linear springs.

Miles Posted December 7, 2004 Author Share Posted December 7, 2004 Don't want progressive springs. However both dealers sell the Tokico blues for around $62.00 which is better then MSA or VB. Thanks for the heads up on the progressive spring info. Miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
