Just guessing here, but i bet the Tokikos are stiffer than the HFP. By that I mean more low speed damping which is what is used in cornering. Mid and High speed damping might be softer than the HFP for a better ride on BIG bumps or to give it a better ability to go over curbs at your local track. Of course this is all just guessing because i haven't seen the shock dyno of an HFP set up.

If you guys need a set we can do $485 shipped overnight. I will also be posting up a Groupbuy shortly as we have just become a Tokico distributor.

Take some close up shots of the bottom bushing mounts (rear) and the top threaded area (rear) as well as the mounting area where the front strut bolts go (front).

Thank you.

No, I'm not getting them... Not a Tokico fan. But, I do need to see something.
