Tokico Spring on 06'

is it needed? My noise sounds too noisy to be fixed by a little bit of plastic.
Is some noise normal until they settle? Or should they be OEM quiet from the get go?

It is possible that you have noise originating somewhere other then the springs themselves. In the process of pulling the springs off to install the plastic sleaves, adress all nuts and bolts on reinstall as a way of rulling them all out.

You'll want to look at the Tokico spring design to figure out where they are going to bind, that's where you want to pieces placed.

No you can order them separate.. I can't for the life of me remember where i got them though. They've been sitting in my house waiting to be installed for so long.
If i can dig up the receipt I'll let you know.

reading the description of these springs, it seems like a drop lower than Hotchkis but not as low as Tanabe? This seems like the 'happy medium' i've been looking for.
