The Yeti71 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Hello all. I came across a good set of Tokico HTS adjustable struts, and would like to use them to replace my worn out stockers. I found a very limited number of threads about them. Does anyone know if they will work with the OEM springs? Thanks, j. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rougeben83 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Had them on my old BE legacy...the rears started to leak after 6 months w/ stock springs. The ride and handling was...interesting after that. As far as adjustability, it seemed it went from soft like OEM, to just a tad more stiff than a bilstein, so the range wasn't really that wide (which is the selling point for adjustable shocks).

Thanks for the reply. Where you using the OEM tophats for the front, or did you need different ones? I ask simply because I have a wagon, so spacers were my concern.

The Yeti71 Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 I picked up the struts yesterday. They came with the top hats (Spec B) and STi pink springs for the fronts. The rears are stock sedan springs, and have the adjustment extenders. My guess is not much is known about these since the response has been minimal ANNNND Tokico appears to be discontinuing them. Anyway, I am hoping the OEM springs will work. If not, I will be looking for some wagon specific pinks for the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonsubie Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Where are you in Colorado? I had these struts on my '05 wagon using the stock tophats and H&R springs, and the ride and stance were perfect (to me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
