I have been shopping around because I won't be installing them until another month. The prices that I have seen seem to range from $280 to $350.

I just put my order in for the struts.

Got it for a great deal too. Lets see if I can wait for this winter to be over before I install them though. I will be sure to post up some pics when they come in as well as a review once they are finally on.

UPDATE:

After months of waiting for the final approval for the testfit for our sedans, I've sorta gave up on getting this work. Here is my last email to my contact at Tokico. Hopefully I will get a response I've been waiting to hear.. but to be honest, I don't think it will happen anytime soon.

Hello David,

I hope all is well.

Anyway, I've been anxiously/patiently waiting since the end of November of 2010.
It is now March of 2011. You had originally promised dates which did not work out due to the internal issues in the company. On my end, it seems like this project has been just pushed aside and is not at anyone's priority at moment.

Can you please advise on the current status of this project and what the realistic wait time is on this? At what stage of getting the final approval from upper management are we at right now? Am I expecting like months of wait time?

I don't mean to hassle you about this thing time after time, but I'd like to know if this is going to work or not. To be honest, it seems like I just keep getting the run around and no actions are being taken to progress further. I would really appreciate it if you can get back to with a clear explanation of the current situation.

Thank you.

Yeah I hear you Jason.

I felt as if the fitment was getting to be brushed aside as well. This is why I took my chances and just placed the order for the HPs for the G37 Coupe. I am not worried about it fitting on our sedans as I know it will work. I was just hoping that Tokico might optimize it for the weight difference from the coupe to the sedan...but it looks like that won't happen.

Its seems to be as if David was trying to pull for us, at least to me it did, unfortunately it seems like we won't see the result. I will most likely be installing mine in about 2-3 weeks once winter starts to die down here in New England. I will be sure to post up some pics as well as a little review of my HPs and Eibach setup vs. stock sport once I start to put some miles on them. I hope it will at least help out a few members that are considering some aftermarket struts and springs without having to go the coilover route.

Oh I forgot to mention that I will be spent just around $500 on the combination of Eibach springs and Tokico HP blues. I think it is a pretty good deal vs. the coilover alternative. Considering I don't think I would have ever used any of the adjustability that the coils offer.

This is assuming of course that I don't end up with any unwanted bounce or severe loss in driver comfort. I guess we will have to wait and see!

Thanks Mike! I really appreciate the info. I will keep an eye out for your review once you get everything installed. I just feel like the ride on my stock shocks are getting worse :\

I have an appointment set up to put on the Eibachs and Tokicos on tomorrow. I should have a right up of the progress when I get some downtime.
