So i'm redoing my ae86 and need a new set up
right now i'm running eibach springs and GR2 shocks and i hate it
Whats springs are out there for good street and strip set up!
I was looking at cusco springs and TOKICO hp's
what do you guys think ? I would like to use tokico's unless there is some thing better in that price rang?

the set up on my old rolla was kyb agx adjustable with some no name springs with adj 4 link and adj lat bar. it was pretty good. i didn't like the springs to much though and wanted to swap them out.

i agree w/
choi. those gas shocks aren't intended for performance handling and neither are the tokico blues. their meant for the day to day grocery trip, job commute, etc.
the springs and shock combination (GR2 shocks & Eibach springs) resembles putting a new dead bolt on a termite eaten door.
the rear camaro AGX shocks are easy to get a hold of and provide about a 1.25" to 1.5" shorter stroke.
your eibachs should be fine. what are the ratings on the springs? also, they are a single spring as opposed to a dual spring setup correct?

i would go agx/trd or some quality spring or a front coilover setup with 2 piece rear
