Alright,

could i get the spring and wait until my stock shocks wear to get the tokico ones ? I mean, would it be dangerous or could it break something ? hehe

well, it's not going to break anything, it just won't handle as well... the s-tech springs aren't THAT stiff, but they are stiffer than stock. I'd save up to do it right the first time, since it's a pain to disassemble it all.

sure!

edit: but you could get Koni Yellows for another ten bucks total, and they are a much better shock!
but i hared the Koni Yellows were a bitch to install.

nah, it wasn't that bad. Had to modify a couple little things, but so many people have done it, it's very well-documented online. They really are the best in their price range. Check out this writeup about their consistency, etc. compared to the really high end stuff.

That's a nice drop. I might get the H&R ones cause i almost only read good reviews about them. I dunno about the shocks, but i've read that the Tokico HP ones aren't that much of an upgrade compared to the stock one, how's yours ?
