i want to lower my 2003 Mach 1. its got about 32k miles. i was wondering how the stock tokicos would handle new lowering springs, or if i should just get new shocks, struts, and springs. thanks

They should be ok 4 a while, but when I got my Mach @ 30k miles, I just swapped out the Tokico's for new Bilsteins so I could do it all @ once. H&R supersports, Bilstein HD's, & MM cc plates is a good foundation IMO....

I'm running tokiko blue shocks/struts and H&R springs on my `97, and it rides a bit rough compared to the bilsteins and frpp 'b' springs on my `89, but it's also a LOT lower.

I dunno exactly, but I would say at least 10k more miles. You do know that the Mach 1 Tokicos are basically the same as the Tokico Blues's.
