would anybody be interested in slightly used tokico blues (front?)
i installed the set all around about 5k miles ago, against my gut feeling that these shocks and massachusetts roads would not be a happy marriage. and it isn't. i realize prices for oem fronts are relatively through the roof, but i'm going to rattle a filling out or go nuts if i don't swap them. so, i'm just floating the idea. would anybody be interested in the fronts and if so, what do you think they'd be worth?

I agree they are hard but they will soften after about 10K. Are you using the OEM tension rod bushings?

23% discount from new seems very fair ............$162 front./$138 rear on ebay vs $245 for all 4 shipped.Based on 60k life ~~$148............but then used shocks are dirty.
Careful about removing the locking nut don't use pliers on the smooth shaft as any scratches will decrease life of seals thus the need for functioning dust boots.
