Default 1987 mr2 schocks/struts

Im looking to do the suspension on my 87 MR2, i've been finding a massive price range for shocks/struts. I dont want to get ripped off is 500 bucks for tokico illuminas a good deal? or 250 for tokico hp. these are both all 4 shocks. thanks!

Plenty of people on TR use Tokicos. Check several websites
and compare prices. Some offer free shipping.-Bob

What spring rates are you looking to go with? remember these are catridge type replacements so will require taking apart the shock to install the cartridge.

I can blow away that price on the illuminas the tokiko replacemnts are about right I can match that price.. also keep in mind there are koni sport inserts for this application which will handle more spring rate..

on the cheap KYB makes inserts for only $210 and they are on par with the base tokiko.. honstely the iluminas sound like the ideal setup for price/value. and can damp a decent spring.

call me 813-333-1100
we can get them ordered tomorow and being in tampa no shipping.
