Theodore Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I just put on all the final works to my suspension, 1. Daizen bushings front upper control arms 2. Daizen Bushings Front Lower Control Arms 3. Daizen Stabalizer Bar Bushings Front / Back 4. New Stablizer Links 5. Eibach Springs 6. Tokico Shocks 7. Upper Strut Tower Bar Now the car is glued to the floor. and perfect handling. I dont know about other sc400s but my handling and drive was just not smooth at all.

lexus082 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 How is the ride quality with the eibach/ tokico set-up. Is there any fitment problems or any unusual sounds coming from the suspension while going over bumps. Like a clunking sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theodore Posted August 28, 2005 Author Share Posted August 28, 2005 the ride is good. i do get a lub on the front tires but thats only on big bumps. The reson being i didnt go with the adjustable tokicos. (heard those are really tough even at low settings) but overall ride quality is amazing. doesnt hop to much i expected worse. I was always scethy about suspenison cause alot of cars iv been in didnt feel good, but ride is improve drastic, and handling is great. Let me warn u though it costed a pretty penny between install past and tires, it ran me about 2400. The bushings made a big difference too, Soooooo Smooooooooothhhhhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don_juan_miami Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 i also have heard great things about the eibach/tokico set-up. I didnt know they were that expensive though. Any alternatives not so pricey? thanks Juancho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a clunking sound. ← Theodore, I have obtained the Daizen bars and bushings but need to install them. Do you have someone within driving range of New York City who can do this?

They are all probably made similar due to lack of space between the top of the engine and then hood so the strut tower bar will sit very close to the top of the engine but it doesn't touch. I think they have a cheaper strut bar now that they carry also. Good guys to deal with, I've purchased many parts from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
