Tokico Suspension Kit?

Let me know what you guys think...Tokico offers a suspension kit for 82-92 F-bodies. It includes 2 performance struts and 2 performance shocks along with 4 springs that lower the car 1.25". The kit sells for $417.00 (non-adjustable) and includes a limited lifetime warranty on the shocks and struts (limited meaning for as long as you own the car, which is great news for thse of us who never plan on selling their cars). Anyway, I'm really excited about this offering and I plan on purchasing one soon . If anyone has had experiences with Tokico, I would like to hear from you.Thanks.

That's what I plan on going with. I probably won't get it for another month, so if you get yours sooner let me know how it looks when you get done. Do a before and after pictures.
Thanks,
Craig

I have their adjustable shocks and struts combined with Hotchkis springs. The shocks and struts are great, I currently have them all set at the second setting for street use. At the drags, the fronts go full soft and the rear are at full stiff. I noticed a good amount of traction from this setup. The lowest setting will give you a very soft/springy setup, while second is a little smoother than stock and so forth. I haven't set them for full stiff on the street yet, and don't plan on it either, there is a noticable difference. I think their quality is great and everything went in nice and smooth. I got them from shox.com and they are a bit more than the non-adjustable kit, but if you want a multi-purpose shock/strut than this is your answer. Also adjustments can't be easier, all you need is a small flat screwdriver and open the hood, for the rear just cut a half circle in the carpet just above the shock mount and use the same screwdriver.
