Tokico HP non-adjustables?

I was looking for some new suspension mods and do not want to spend too much money but know I should change the struts if I change the springs. I want to get the Ground Control adjustable springs. Will these Tokicos work with those springs? Also are those good struts? I found them for like $70 a piece for rear ones from rx7.com so let me know is there is anything better for around that price or cheaper. Thanks alot.

I do, but not on my FC. They are great for the price, and I don't see why they wouldn't fit a set of coilovers...

I have the ground control coil overs with the tokico non adjustables. The set-up is perfect for a street driven car. I have nothing to compare it to but I love it. Just firm enough to insure confidence.

on my GXL I'm running Tokico "blues" and Eibach springs. (from shox.com) I'd say skip the coilovers and just get the Eibachs unless you are planning on autocrossing. They are soft enough not to jar your teeth loose and still allow you to take corners at (more than) double the posted limit.

Well I don't want the coilovers but I guess thats basically what I will get but alot cheaper(I think). I want the ground control adjustable spring which is like $400 for all 4 and then get the rear struts only first which are $70 a piece. I will add the fronts a little later. What do you think?

if u are gonna do 4 springs, u might as well do 4 struts as well, so u only have to pay labor once, unless u are doing it yourself
