Tokico vs stock struts

switching to blues and tein springs was the best investment ever..Got rid of all the highway wander, car stays glued to the road..Perfect for those with a daily commute

True that. In fact, switching from Megan Coilovers to Blues/Teins was a great swap for me. Much more street-friendly setup.

Do they still give you the coilover feel? (= car "glued" to the road, no swaying from side to side when turning left or right)

The Megan Racing coilovers I used to have were very, very stiff even on "full soft." The Tokico/Tein allows for a smoother ride, but the handling is still quite good. I'd argue that it is better in most street/daily-driver scenarios because the car isn't upset by bumps and such.

If you're on the track a lot, I can see why you'd want coilovers. I ran mine full-hard on Portland International Raceway after running them full-soft, and there was quite a difference. However, we daily drive our Yaris and the Tokico/Tein setup handles great, rides well, and isn't too costly, either.

Can you go super slammed? No. But I'm a functionalist when it comes to my daily driver.

I am never on a track, I just like firm/stiff suspension ))
