I had them on my car for about 6 months...it was alright. Until I took it to the track. It was horrible, i felt like they were a waste of money. I'm going to upgrade to coilovers on Monday. So if you want...save up some more money and get coilovers.

I was using that shocks and tein s springs. Get coilovers..if you can get used one. Well worth your money.

thanks for the info, what was wrong with them exactly?

It was nice on the freeway and stuff. But it's just not stiff enough on the track.

I have tokico blue's with s-techs and i love the setup. mild on the street, but you can really feel the significant reduction in body roll when you come into a turn hot. with this setup i really noticed how shitty my tires are. tires cant keep up with the car. i got my set used, only 1k miles on them for like $350. at 1/3 the cost of coils, I say its WELL worth it. plus the drop is pretty sexy. i only have 2 fingers of room all around; and i have skinny ass fingers and 15" wheels. slap on some 16's with decent offsets, and the drop would be PERFECT.

just my $0.02

thanks for the info i went ahead and bought them

damn i was gonna say to buy it.

i got my set Tokico HPs + Sportline springs for only $240. They had about 10k miles on em and they handle MUCH better over stock. There is almost no body roll on my weekly mountain runs but they are a little too soft for track. Definetly worth buying if your car is mostly a daily driver.

Good choice.

Yeah, I like them too, very noticeable improvement over stock. If you live in San Diego and get coilovers or some other stiff setup, and your car is a daily driver, good luck because if you havent noticed already, SD has shitty public roads.

Well if anyone searches and stumbles upon this thread and wants a front pair of Tokico blue shocks (brand new in box), PM or email me. I have Tokicos on all four corners of my car, I just have an extra front pair in my garage, long story.
