I've been looking into getting a new suspension setup, and it seems that a lot of people are using tokico blues. However, i talked to my friend today and he said that they're kinda rough, and blow easily. I remember someone recently posting that one of his new shocks just blew. Should I look into Koni or KYBs instead? Also, if anyone can fully adress my "springs for the convertible" thread, that'd be great. Thanks guys.

I highly recommend both koni and tokico dampers. My wife has some Illumina R coilovers on her accord and they are very high quality. Just be careful whenever you are tightening the strut bolts because you can crack the upper threaded part. (don't ask how I know, just trust me) Don't get the blues though because they are crappy. Get the illuminas.

I had konis on my cavalier and I was also very impressed with them. Both the reds and the yellows are good, just not the blacks.

However both pale in comparison to Tein HE's. I haven't put mine off, but they look DAMNED nice :)

I have tokico blue's with eibach sportlines, and my car handles pretty damn well for a $6k car...a bit bouncy, but nice and firm!
