I grabbed front and rear tokico blue suspension stuff of a junk yard card and put it in my son's 92 240 sx se

Did I do a good thing here or make a mistake ?

Thanks

depends, were they blown? If they were, then I'd say yeah, you failed. How much did you pay for them if you don't mind me asking?

btw, I had bad experiences with Tokico blues. They don't handle lowering springs too well (i.e. my left rear blew within a year). I'd say they are decent oem replacements, but definitely not for a lower stance.

Suddenly I remember you talking about your bad experience with the Tokico Blues because mine as starting to feel like crap now...

I'm hoping its something simple like tire pressure or some worn bushings or else I'm gonna be pissed. These things are only about 4-5 months old...
