Never heard of that product but I have seen a lot of Tokiko products over the last 5 years.
Might be worth looking into if the price is not to Outrageous.
Did you end up with these or are you still lookin around for a set??

let me know how they work out... my friend and I just took his coilovers out because he didnt like them. He went with upgraded springs and shocks. I think they were Eibach adjustable coilovers... front and back.

from what i hear the tokico hp's are not too firm and i hope they arent. i dont want my daily driver beatin me up too. i get plenty of that from my work truck and the stang. so a bit softer of a ride will be a plus. i guess i am hopin i will get the best of both works a bit firmer of a ride that is droped but still the soft ride. maybe i should have gotten the tokico illumas. i guess the hps are around the 3 setting of the hps. ill find out

hehee polo im still waitin on all those stang pics u been promising
well the coilovers came today and i got them all prepped for install as soon as i get a nice day to tool out side. pretty easy to put together. jsut need to make some measurements from the stock shock/springs to decide where to start and how much lower from there.
dont really know how much to drop her yet though.
I'm sure you'll have some pics when it's done...;)

aaarhhhhrhrhrhrrrr[:@]
finally got a nice day to tool around and install the susp. all the damn bolts are in soo fntight i cant get them loose. used all kinds of sprays with no luck. now the install has to wait a few weeks for my buddy to get his garage cleared out so i can take advantage of all his air tools and impact to get them out.

YO! Did you get your suspension all squared away???
And what did you finally decide on to set your ride height at?
I set most of my rides at 2.5 drop Front and Rear and then change them to the 4.0 drop for the shows..

Hey fellas, im new to the whole honda civic thing, well the car thing in general, im a truck guy and i bought an 89 civic HB for commuting but i want to make it look nice while im driving it for the next few years. heres my thing. i want to lower it with some of those slap on adjutable coilovers that you see all day on ebay(i love ebay and honda **** its like owning a friekin VW bug) anyways i alwys see the cars slammed with super neg camber. i dnt want that, i just want to lower it like an 1" maybe 2". but im not sure if i will need one off those extreme camber kits that are like $80. i just want to put it on and maybe go get it aligned if i cant satisfy myself doing it myself. but is there enough adjustment to do it, and if there is what is the max, and under whatcondition would you need one of those extreme camber alignment kits. thanks alot guys
