Has anyone ever been to importparts.com and seen their tokico shock package. they say its for the 84-88 200 sx. For $219, it looks like a pretty sweet setup, have any of you guys used these?

Well i got a '87 200sx (ca18et) totally stock now and looking to move up.
I am from originally from Albania(crazy mothers i know) but i wanna a '87 car to smoke some riced up new stuff, and the good of drifting
no i belive those are the self adjusting ones kinda like sensa-track shocks.. they adjust to the conditions of the road themselves.. man in about a week i will have the rear and front 8way adjust in my hands for our cars.. so hold on and i will get you access to these..

The tokico premium just their answer to the KYB GR-2. Most people here have just gotten the KYB's becuz they're cheaper but on a side note most people in the Z crowd think they handle better too.

Bart, sign me up for a set! now , what can i do about all the rear camber?? i bought nissan stock springs hoping to correct the problem, but now my rear sits 1/2" higher with the same camber.
im actually working on modifying the rear crossmember to correct for the horrible camber

Very nice. I have been looking for something but if Bart is close to being done then I will just wait it out.
Actually I need to send you some pics about the rear camber fix. I think I have seen the light and it could be screaming HELL YA! look for it (e-mail).

ya i saw that and its looks good but the only thing is that since he adjusted only one side he puts alot of stress on the other bushing by having it only one side adjusted for the camber.. now this may be ok for stock bushings but for ureathane ones it would destroy them quickly

It really wouldn't end up being any more of an adjustment than if you bought the MSA camber correction kit (rated at 1.0 & 1.5deg). Thats why I said you really couldn't use his exact measurements but the same idea could be applied to a lower level of correction. Or depending on how radical you'd want to take it the same idea could more than likely be applied to the outer bushing too. Any way, I think after x-mas I might try and take a hack at it w/a friend of mine. I've got 2 rear ends so if I fuck it up I can always just go back to stock. =) Any way, I just wanted you to see it
