Did Search, and I found they're a pretty good combo. But what I'd rather no is how long did they last for most people. Anyone with this combo on an S14 could you please tell me how long they lasted you. I hear AGX's get blown quick with Sportlines so I'm hoping the Tokicos fair a bit better? Thanks.

I used to have (used 10k mile set) tokico blues with RSR race springs on my S14 and the tokicos did just fine the entire year I drove on that setup. Autox, drifting, touge, some track racing, and daily driving. The springs I had were much stiffer than sportlines. That setup felt great, and to this day I think tokico blues are highly under-rated. I have AGX/sportlines on my new car and I preferred the tokicos to the new setup.

With sportlines I'd be worried about bottoming the front struts out due to the low ride height and relatively weak spring rates.

I had tokicos+eibach prokits and my rear shocks went in about 1 1/2 years. I'd just go for a cheap set of coilovers. ie. megans.

i have blues and sportlines all around... and all they have done IMO is give me that agressive look but havent done much in overall improvent in handling for me... my upgrade to these are going to be some tien flex's. they are "working" but just dont cut it for me

not to jack your thread but does anyone know if tokico blues the same thing as the monza rs downs which are also made by tokico japan or no?
