hopefully you have better luck with your tokicos than i’m having now. i’ve had them for one season (about 25K) and the fronts are blown out already, the rears are solid though. i’m pretty sure the problem is a SHO thing though because tokico front struts don’t last long on ATX SHO’s. but when they were new they did ride sweet!

well, you could use the springs with the stock schocks (or should be able to anyway) but if you wanted to do both eventually anywa, might as well just do them at the same time rather than put the prings on, then have to take them back off again to put the enw shocks on.

put the struts in without the springs your handling will still be improved greatly.

I did the sportline on my Z24 and it was the perfect drop. And the best part is im not bottoming out everywhere I go.

nice…
my konis are blown too…
but i’m too cheap to spend the $240 to replace the fronts and see if they will cover them under warenty.
i remember my 4x4…
i used to be able to drive throught some pretty deep ditches…
although it scared the hell out of me every time i turned at more than 45 mph…
now, after your springs you MUST BUY the rear sway bar…
i reccomend that as the 1st thing for every j-body.
best $120 you will spend on handling…
then short shifter… then go fast goodies and tires :tup:
