well got the tokico hp's today...opened the boxed and looked at them and am a tiny bit confused on which ones are which...



i figure this "L" means it for the left side of the car? and that appears to be one of the front struts..

yummy

these are the springs, i would imagine the "R" and "F" mean front and rear..?



may seem like stupid noob questions but i just wana be sure i install em the right way and all.

thanks! hopefully these will be in tomorrow

and got some last pics before dropped yesterday..

rear gap

front gap

nice stuff, can't wait to see less gap. wish my car was still lowered

 

wow thats a huge gap you have, never noticed..your siggy hides it well, but dam you got some nice stuff, how much did it run you? and get thos pics up!..you installing them?

 

Congrats man, very nice choice. You definitely won't be disappointed. Make sure to coat your rear LCA bolts in PB Blaster before trying to remove them, that will be the hardest part of the install. If you have the money, I highly recommend picking up a pair of rear LCAs to install at the same time. That can make the install go nice and smooth. Good luck!

 

I'm so jelous, I'm still waiting for confirmation that my Tokico's shipped and I'm waiting for my LCAs, but my rear bushing came today and front come tomorrow. So hopefully soon, I think I'm gonna call tomorrow and find out what's going on.

 

thanks guys. yeaaah some bad a$$ gapage goin on..lol. payed $375 shipped(free shipping), cheapest anywhere i believe..i will be installing them tomorrow afternoon hopefully if all goes well. im about to go spray the hell outa the bolts with some WD. thought about getting LCA's but dosnt seem like itd be all that worth it..i dunno. cant wait to see ur car lowered chimera.

 

^ yeah neither can I, but right now I just want to see it drivable.

 

We'll see how you feel about that halfway through the install


Just kidding of course, best of luck man

 

quick question and hope i can get a responce within the next 30mins...what are the torque specs for the bolts that connect the strut to the LCA and for the top mount bolts??

thanks

 

alright well i worked on it today, only got the front left on cuz it started raining...there are 2 brake line bolts u have to take out, one of them is hard to reach and take out, what a b****....but now that we know what were doing, the rest should be alot easier. the rear seem pretty simple since u dont have to unbolt a bunch of other stuff. one thing that REALLY REALLY helped out was the Haynes manual. good thing i decided to buy it just before we started..
