So I have a limited budget since i go to a military academy and I don't have a source of income, I have aftermarket Tein springs sitting on stock shocks so I was wondering if replacing the stock shocks with tokicos would be worth it. What do you guys think?

Should I do something else?

Tokico shocks are nice.

I think a lot of people use Tokico or KYB shocks for their lowering spring setups with good results.

I never rode in a 240 with lowering springs + tokicos, but my old lowering spring + KYB GR-2 setup felt decent, and the shocks aren't showing signs of dieing.

I like the s-techs with gr2s, have a good right. Never had tokicos though, mostly for the price.

GR2 is a stock replacement shock. Tokico Blue is better.

Yea I'm either going with tokico blues - which i read fail very easily, or KYB AGX's, and do yellows wear easily?
