I saw these Tokico shocks on fastscions; Any feed back? They look pretty cool too me, but I never heard of them. I was thinking going w/ TRD shocks... but I'm not sure how the TRD shocks would feel with my NF210?
Any feed back would be great.

Thank you in advance

I have them on my car now, tokico hp with stechs and i like them. Had never had a issue with the shocks blowing out with 10+k miles.

Tokico is a very well known company. I never had problems with their shocks from my previous car til a year ago on my Tc. People say that TRD shocks are more stiff than Tokico's. My experience is that it's stiff but wouldnt sacrifice a lot of ride quality especially when I daily drive my car. (unlike now, I'm on coils and every little bump I hit, my body jumps with the car lol)

Fastscions have a good price but I usually look around the internet, cause I probably could find them a little cheaper

Also I know that Tokico came out with a 16-adjustable shock but not sure if they introduced one for the Tc yet.

EDIT

here it is, I guess they did came out with one for Tc. When I was looking for shocks 2 years ago, Tokico only had the HP one.

Thank you all... great feed back! thxs drivenTC... I feel the same here.
My xb has 93,500 miles now on stock shocks, and about 40k miles ago I installed Tanabe NF210. Most recentlly Im feeling every little bump on the road, living in NY...and having so many pot holes. I thought it's time up upgrade.
NOw going out the door to change the motor oil, next weekend I'm replacing the front brakes rotors & pads... next... about 120k miles or so the timing chain/waterpump. Boy this car it starting to costing money...lol

I just put the tokico hps on after 25k on trd springs and stock shocks. I was hesitant at first, but I'm glad I did. It's wierd, but the ride is stiffer, but smoother at the same time. But definitely an improvement over stock. ride comfort is better overall. I don't think that the stock shocks/struts were really meant for lowered springs. I also cut the bump stops one rib. Much more planted feeling, better damping. Wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
