tokico hp struts for the xB?
i noticed the hp's were added to the parts section, but no one has reviewed them yet. someone on ebay is selling them for the xB. are those for real? i was under the impression that tokico didnt make the hps for the xB? their website only has part# for the adjustable and one other one (i forget which). did they just come out with these hps or what, because im gonna want a set very soon.

I just got done talking with that Ebay seller on the phone, and that auction is for the NONE-Adjustable Tokiko strut set of 4.
The are willing to sell me the HTS model- set of 4, for $580 shipped . A set of 4 way adjustable Koni's would be $514 shipped. Front Konis are $325. I'll go Tokiko HTS

so... this means that the HP's are in production for our cars... but arent listed. im gonna need to remember these part numbers. hopefully more and more people start selling these bad boys.
i know that the TRD struts are made by waydo... were some sets made by tokico?

Any input....
Would anyone out there say go Tokico 16-way adjustable for $580 shipped, or go with the non-adjustable HP's for $275 shipped ?
Not so sure if the HP's would be more then sufficiant suspension/handling wise.... or spend double the money on the 16-way adjustable ??
Thanks

it really depends on you... if you are hard to please, i would cave and go for the adjustable. you dont wanna go for the hps and be disappointed, and end up going adjustable anyway.
i think if youre gonns spend almost 600 on struts alone, id look into getting the progress coilovers for about 700-800. problem with those is, the rears are the adjustable springs only, so youd have to get stiffer struts on top of the progress setup in the back to handle the coilovers.
the way i see it, tokico hps are very reputable struts with a lifetime warranty (up to a certain drop). for the price its going for on ebay, that is dirt cheap for hps. other cars (my camry, for example) may cost DOUBLE that. the hps are a happy medium to say the least.
