Has anyone every heard of struts particularly tokico lowering a car(non adjustables) when installed someone told me he installed them and it lowered his car an inch is this bullshit?

 

Not familiar with Tokiko having an adjustable perch so Id call bullshit too.

edit: Well then again...depending upon the perch placement on the Tokiko shocks in relation to the stock shock it is possible that the Tokiko perch may sit lower and therefore lower the car a little bit.

 

yes...it is possible...no...they are not made to...but....i have non-adjustable tokicos on my car...and they made my car sit lower...and now my car is tucked in the front and i rub when i turn really sharp...funny thing is though...my coilover cups (in rear) wont fit into new tokico shocks all the way and now im riding bulldog style until i get a chance to bend or force the cups into the shocks...not sure why they sit lower because the new shocks and struts look to be same height as the old oem shocks and all but who knows....

 

yes it does lower your car but only like 2/10 of an inch.

 

Arent Konis the only shock with a lowering perch??? And is it the reds yellows or both??
Thanks for the reply.

 

Well i installed the rear struts because the front we needed a breaker bar but i can say that the back lowered a extra 1/2 inch and now im riding a little lower in the rear than the front. Robster is a witness to all this if you dont beleive me!!!!!!!!!
