FS: new-never mounted Tokico HTS shocks - Toyota Yaris Forums

jkuchta · 07-03-2009, 10:34 PM

Hey everybody!

I just got my set of HTS shocks (I was the HB test car), but need the money to finish a few projects and cover a few loose ends. Also, my hatch is pretty much only a daily driver now, so I'd like to see these things go to someone who will really use them!

These things are brand new...never mounted, and only taken out of the box for the pic. I'm asking $650 shipped in the lower 48, or $600 for local pickup for all four shocks and the adjuster tool (fancy 3mm allen key).

Please feel free to ask any questions.

that's better than my cost as a Reseller everyone, someone get these!

$936 MSRP....

^ Sure...let me know where I'm sending them and what service you want me to use and I'll get you a quote. The price will be whatever the shipping costs plus $600 USD.

Ive been using these shocks for 6 weeks now, they are awesome...

gmodder · 07-06-2009, 04:11 PM

So what kind of ride difference will these make from my stock shock and struts with TRD springs on my 09 LB

jkuchta · 07-06-2009, 06:24 PM

You have the ability to adjust them, so they can be relatively soft (yet still more firm than stock), or very firm for more aggresive driving. The shocks come with an adjuster (fancy 3mm allen key) to adjust the damping.

From what I've heard, these things are perfect for the street as in the soft setting they're pretty nice, yet can be set on kill for canyon or track running in a matter of minutes.

kngrsll · 07-06-2009, 10:10 PM

thats exactly right. if i go down on the settings, it feels stock. If i go up on them, i feel like im in a Vitz Cup car. HUGE difference.

we are supposed to have an article coming for Tokico, but my writer/test driver has been a busy bloke. I can tell you that the shocks alone significantly effected lap times.

Tamago · 07-06-2009, 10:20 PM

good job! yeah according to the tokico dyno charts, you can actually make them SOFTER than stock and much HARDER too! awesome stuff! (although IMO nothing touches my koni yellows ehehehheheeh)

Bummer about the duty...shipping on my end was a little higher than expected too.

Glad they went to a good home!

Most modern tires don't go flat from being stored, must have been a pothole. I had a run in with a raised man hole that didn't end well from me recent so I feel the pain.

P.s. don't let thebarber touch anything of yours, last thing I loaned him came back with a screw in the tire! j/k friend :P

The Tokico literature says that they come that way from the factory...

I didn't find it too harsh; I think the comfy RS seats might be a factor, but I'll need to put a bit of seat time in before I leave them at this setting...

Cheers

you should go for a spin w/ my megans at full soft!
