[FS] Tokico Blue Struts + Tein S-Tech Lowering Springs

[shaeet]

I removed this from my Vibe this weekend since I'm returning it to stock to sell. My new XRS already has Eibach sportlines + GR2 struts and I'm too lazy to swap the blues onto it so I'm selling these. I bought the Tokico Blues for $400 in 2011 and they have approx 10k mileage on them now. They have Tein S-Tech's on them now with top-hats, thrust bearings, spring insulators, bumpstops and dust boots. The two front dust boots are torn but when you install them on the car & lower the car to the ground they still offer protection. I also have a set of Sprint 1.75" lowering springs for sale. Would prefer to sell the struts as an assembly, this way you can simply unbolt your old stuff and bolt these right up with no hassle of compressing the springs. Would be willing to swap the Sprint springs onto the strut if you prefer those over the S-Tech's. I might be willing to separate the struts from the springs if your offer entices me enough .

$300 + shipping for the full assemblies, also available for local pickup in Gambrills, MD 21054 (willing to meet up in NoVA / DC / MD area). If interested email/AIM/PM or reply

springs lower ~2" & even the front & rear suspension out so the rear doesn't look higher than the front. Struts control these springs nicely, no bottoming out ever in my experience & never bouncy.

I still haven't sold my wheels yet, just checking up on these tho.
I want em so bad I can TASTE them!

Kinda, sold the teins this morning to a local MO forum member & mounted the sprint springs on them instead.

[A Psycho Martyr]

well crap.lol. I was too slow selling my wheels.
Just got em sold this afternoon

[shaeet]

well (removed).lol. I was too slow selling my wheels.
Just got em sold this afternoon

Maybe I wrote it wrong, I STILL HAVE THE TOKICO BLUES, i removed only the tein springs from them & put on the sprint springs instead & recompressed the top hats back onto the assembly.

Yeah, I read it correctly, was just pumped about the S Techs

I've seen mixed reviews on the Sprints.

You wouldn't split them up would you? Sell just the Tokico's?

Really? i've read a lot of mixed reviews on s-techs, i personally don't like them. (too soft)

ya i would...200 + shippin for the blues. u need top hats or anything?

[A Psycho Martyr]

I have seen that as well. S-Techs being soft.

And I really don't know WHAT i need.

Never dropped a car before.

Guess I need to educate myself a little

What was your experience on the Sprints?

had the sprints on a set of stock struts for a short time & they dropped the car about the same as the teins, maybe .25" higher but still LOW. They weren't as harsh as the TRD springs I previous had, but were firm enough to never bottom out which the Tein's would occasoinally do. I didn't find the comfort much different than the teins on the highway or slow-speeds in the city. I can't say the same for the eibach sportlines I had or the TRD's, those things were just plain firm al lthe time & jarring on minor bumps which is why i got rid of em

Sprints are also a progressive-rate spring (in rear bout 5 coils) and mildly progressive in the front (only like 2 coils). Teins, TRD's and the stockers are linear.

So, I'm hearing the Eibach Sportlines were overly stiff/harsh? Not too complaint? How much drop on the Eibachs?
Thanks!

I read up a little bit on the differences between 'Progressive Rate' springs and 'Linear' springs...

Seems I'm in the market for exactly what you have here.
