Tokico blues

[phatpat240]

Hey guys I'm getting ready to buy some new struts&shocks and springs. I know for sure that I want either prokit or s-tech springs. Now for the struts I have either gr-2's or tokico blues. The blues come with a lifetime warranty and the gr-2's don't. From everyone I know they have had bad experiences with kyb. I have first hand seen 3 sets of blown ones from normal driving. I just want something that will last and look nice too. I did a search but hardly anyone is running the blues,is there something wrong with em? I found a decent deal on them for $300 shipped NIB. And the gr2 was $275 shipped

go with the blues--the gr-2 do come with a lifetome warranty if you buy them from auto zone or something like that--so do the blues--so to get the warranty on both--go with the better strut--the blues,

The warranty is against leaks not that either will maintain as new specs that's why you cannot find specs published.

Depending on vehicle weight and road roughness by 60,000 miles 4 years both are significantly worn and don't provide as new rebound resistance!

as far as "performance" i think it is up to the individual skills, why? though most pro drifters have sponsor and most runs TEIN, a few other runs JIC, but there is one guy in ATL that won D1 in atl with a GR-2+JDM springs set up(G&R/GREX/something like that), white dude, mid 20's unemployed IT(was in one of the import magazine a couple of month back). ofcourse i dont know what happened to his GR-2 after the competition but he prove that u dont need expensive stuff to work. And a GR-2+spring set up cost only 250-350, i dont think i want a set of coilovers that cost that much, come on $350 for a set???too good to be true if it existfor shocks being blown, i've read a of a lot of KYB-Eibach combo with that problem, but rarely KYB-S.tein that's because S tein are stiffer then Eibach, so i think if u r willing to sacrafice some ride quality, get some stiff springs, and if u going for AGX-set the damping to be harder, and u can't be greedy here, even with adjustable, r u going to jump out of ur car with a screw driver whenever u want to have a little fun on the street??with that said, anyone know the spring rate for Drop Zone springs, i love the idea that they are less then $100 bucks on ebay, i dont know the manufacture (its not drop zone inc. i googled it)and lastly, if u have the extra $$$ and really want coilover for the bragging right, then go ahead, but i doulbt you'll spend enough time at the track to make it worth ur while because if u r like me, u'll be working your *** off paying for it, and everything else that u need to make it fit right/work right/feel right.

I got no plans on ever goin to the track. I just want my car to look good. I bought a set of tein s-techs last week and I'm gettin ready to order my tokico's this week. Found em on ebay for $300 shipped. Got my teins for $150 shipped. Within 2 weeks I plan on installing the shocks,springs,z32 brakes,and my new 5zigen staggered wheels and tires. I wanna do it all in the same day. After that, I gotta save all my money cause I'm moving to houston in january to go to UTI, so I can get a real job to pay for all the toys I want to have. I'll post a pic of my car with everything done in the rides section. werd.

Bwt...does anyone know where I can get a good deal on new shock dust boots? thanks
