It's now been a few days since the FK 60/40 springs have replaced my old, trashed
Tokico springs and I'm still very happy with them. Even though the front springs
are lower and the rear springs are the same height, the FKs provide a better ride
while still keeping my tires from rubbing against the fenders (with the Tokicos,
I had to be very very careful - even small bumps would cause the rear tires to
rub). Fortunately, the Tokico dampeners are much better quality than the Tokico
springs, and they work well with the FKs. The front dampeners should be changed,
though, because the Tokicos have too much travel (which means the springs are
loose, just flopping around, when the vehicle is raised off the ground). A set
of Bilsteins in the front would be really nice, but they're pricey.
