Does anyone have experience with Tokico Coilover HP Series Kit or AGX/Sportline combo?

Besides looks, coilovers would be a waste in my case (not cheaping out, just not getting unnecessary).

hmm..has to be decent enough for a DD/street car though, right? As in, still stiffer than stock?

I was also thinking that the Tokico HP setup was basically made to compliment each other.

I had the kyb agx and eibach sportlines on my 89 240 before I sold it and it handled great. Only complaint I had was the sportlines actually raised my car about an inch. I even sent pictures to their reps and they sent me 3 different springs with the same results. However I have not heard anyone else with that problem when I posted that way back in the day. I also replaced every bumper in the suspension so that was not the case.

But yes it is a good setup.

For shock/spring:

Koni inserts
RS-R Race or Swift springs

I'm not a big fan of AGXes, the adjustment knob doesn't really do anything. :p The Konis are far superior, well worth the extra money over the AGX. They have better damping than most coilovers, as well...

Spring choice is up to you, but I would buy the RS-R or Swift if I wanted spring/shock.

its a lot stiffer then stock. i run 4of4 in the front and 6of8 in the rear and its pretty stiff. handles good too

I seem to remember people saying that the sportlines would ruin the AGX's eventually. Decisions, decisions...

AGX's & Sportlines here. About two years now of DD and beating on em. I'm not sure if the adjustment on the AGX's does much (if anything). But they've served me well..
