The famous Blue Shocks, TOKICO s HP Series continues to be the overwhelming choice of performance enthusiasts looking for the best in overall handling and ride quality.
Not all shocks and struts are created equal. TOKICO Performance shocks have many features that are unique in their design, and the source of their reputation as a premium shock absorber.
The HP Series typifies TOKICO s damping philosophy and valving flexibility. By minimizing low-speed damping force and greatly increasing damping at medium and high piston speeds, HP shocks and struts optimize tire adhesion, handling precision and ride composure.
The heart of TOKICO s HP Series is its unique piston design. A multi-stage variable-aperture valve system features precise orifice control, creating the unique flexibility and accuracy of its damping response. The oil lubricant is also specially compounded to resist breakdown and minimize viscosity change as temperatures vary. A superior performance and traction upgrade with virtually no compromise in ride quality, TOKICO s HP Series shocks and struts are also an ideal upgrade for vehicles with lowering springs and larger, heavier aftermarket wheels.
Benefits:
Improved:
Traction
Stability
Steering response
Cornering ability
Braking ability
Superiors:
Ride quality
Shock and strut longevity
Reliability
Reduced:
Body roll in corners
Dive under braking
Squat under acceleration
Pitch during straight-ahead driving
Suspension bottoming
Precision Construction
Pressure Tube is mandrel-drawn twice to ensure precise dimensional tolerances
and concentricity, for excellent sealing and minimal dynamic friction (drag).
Reduced Friction
Teflon coated Piston Rod Guide minimizes dynamic friction and extends piston-rod life.
Priston Quality
Piston Rod is hardened, chrome-plated and micro-polished, for smooth operation and
contributing to long seal life.
Notes
these units disable electronically adjustable OE struts on cars so equipped. These shocks are not Adjustable.
easy install great price great performance. paired with h&r springs performs like a coilover

This was a big change from stock, very nice product. Stiffer which is what I needed since I lowered the car, I never hear it bottom out.

A solid value and good overall performer. Decent balance between response and ride quality. The only economical alternative to adjustable Koni's or coilovers. Works better than OEM struts or KYB's on lowered cars.

It's bounces too much on the freeway. Too rough on uneven road. Stiff even on smooth surfaces. Easy to install. Looks good and handles corners well.
