INCREDIBLE DEAL on Tokico Performance Struts!!!

Can you give a breakdown of everything you had to buy, the cost of each, and where you got each thing from?

I really need some new struts and I would like to drop her a little too.

Thanks in advance!
 
Well, I bought my Tokico Struts back when they had them on sale for $39 each.  I just recently received my coilovers.  It doesn't really matter where you get these.  My set is made by Ground-Control and no matter where you get these, unless they have them in stock, which I seriously doubt, they will have to special order them from Ground-Control and they will have to physically build them to order.  That's how often they get ordered.  The coilovers retail for about $400, I got my set for 370 including shipping.  As far as I know, Anthony can chirp in anytime, that's all you need for installation.
    Now you can save yourself about $150+ if you just want to settle for lowering springs and get a set 1.5-1.8 inch drop with some H&R springs.  Tirerack.com has those for about $195 shipped.  I couldn't resist the adjustability of the coilovers.

The sale for tokico ends TODAY so if you want struts for $39. ea. then call the 1-800 # asap with a credit card ready. I ordered a set on the 26th and am awaiting UPS. Total cost was only $187. including shipping. Ordered H&R Springs from the tirerack.com for $199. Shipped, just got those in yesterday. Can't wait to put them on the capri!!

I bet if you called and said you had a family emergency and couldn't call yesterday....lol....well maybe don't say that.  I would try and call though if you wanted a set, they, I'm sure have a lot left, and want to get rid of them.  Doesn't hurt to try...

Looks like they extended the sale.

I'm seriously considering these for my XR2 but know little about struts.  Are the Tokicos really better than Monroes that I can pick up at the local parts store for about the same price?

I also use Tokicos and love them.  Very nice ride.  I have Ground Control coilovers instead of lowering springs though.

On Tokico's site, if you type in the capri(works for both na & XR2) in the vehicle app. locator it will show the correct struts(doesn't show capri just 323/tracer but is correct)They probably will sell for the reduced price. They shipped a set of 4 to me for a total of $186. Had to call the 1-800 and do credit card order, only took @4 days to recieve. I went to tirerack.com and purchased the H&R Sport springs, got both installed, I'm not slammed but the drop is very noticeable and looks good. This combo was a great improvement over the stock worn out springs/struts.

Yea Anthony convinced me towards the coilovers vs the lowering springs.  It took me like 2-3 months to decide this      It was winter at the time anyway and she wasn't being driven.  I am very happy with my setup though.  I just liked the adjustability options.

ok.  after following this thread, I'm convinced.  Ordered the Tokico struts today for $189 shipped.  Yep, they still have em.  The operator said they have been very popular lately, so ya might want to jump on this deal.  Make sure to tell em you are ordering overstocks, otherwise, they won't sell to you.

cheers

These struts will fit with stock springs.  (Money crunch.  Can get struts can't get springs)
