Question Bilsteins or Tokicos???

well its been about 2 yrs with the H&R springs. when they went on, so did a set of take-offs from SLP but they gotta be getting tired with the increased spring rates of the H&Rs.

so its shock shopping time! konis would be nice but are just too dang expensive for me right now. i checked out shox.com for pricing and they have full sets of either the bilstein or tokico for $319.

i know plenty of people buy the bilsteins and theres a good chance i'll go that way too. but the few times i've heard people talk about tokico, its all been good.

my car is driven hard on the street with some autox time (schedule permitting). any thoughts on which ones to choose?

My vote would be the Bilstein's since you never hear anything negative about them. On the other hand, I have never heard of anyone with Tokico's. Just my thoughts.

If you go with Bilstin, check out www.bimmerparts.com

Best price I've seen since the price has went up. Last time I looked, they hadn't raised the price.
