Default What Im I missing??
I finally got my Tokico Blues and my Tanabe GF210's for my IS300. What else do I need to complete them? Do I use anything from my old set? Get new stuff?

Thanks for the help.

Are you doing the rears only of the fronts also? You will need teh factory top hats if you are doing the fronts.

You will need to remove the factory top hats for the front so you will need a spring compressor to take them off of you old struts.

yes, those along with the bump stops will need to be transferred over also. The bump stops may need to be cut also.

You generally cut them in half.

Wont that increase the amount the shock travels before it hits the bump stop? Is that good or bad for the shock? My springs are 2" lower in the front and 1.5" in the rear?
