I'm looking at a slightly used set of Tokico springs that came off a 3rd gen coupe, and just want to double check to make sure they will be compatible with my car. They're a 1.25" drop so I'm really hoping they work!

Never used the tokiko's myself....

as for the springs, yes, they're the same. I'm running Eibach sportlines. My factory WS6 springs are identical to my buddies hardtop springs.

i got the tokico lowering spring/ hp shocks and struts last year, i love em, best $420 bucks i ever spent. i ended up cutting 1/3 of a coil of the front and 1/2 coil off the rear to make it sit the way i like it, probably 1.5-1.7 inch drop total, it sits at 25 7/8" in the front and 26 1/8-26 1/2" in the rear,depending on how full the tank is ,with 245/50 r16 tires. the springs with the 36/24 mm bars make the suspension about as stiff as u would want it for a daily driver, the car handles and looks damn sexy, i assume that the springs are comparable to the eibach prokit/sportlines in stance and spring rate
