of course the blues will be fine, but theres no sense in replacing something if it doesnt need replaced.

also, he could get something with a little more performance for a little more.

those springs are to soft the blues are pretty weak too. they feel good for about 2 months then the bouncing starts creeping. Go koni yellows+ groundcontrols and be done with it. and no thats not what i heard or what my friends tell me i have already had that setup many moons ago

The blues aren't designed for a 2 inch drop so they probably won't last long. If you want them to last you need to keep at at 1.5" max drop.

My Konis have 150K on them and still work great.

20K is nothing for shocks, but some will give out in that long if dropped too low or you use too stiff of a spring on it.

first off tein s-techs wont drop u 2 inches...my ground controls are dropped at 2 inches right now on konis and they r much shorted than my s-techs...i had s-techs and stock shocks for along time...if ur lookin for a nice clean drop, with good drveability, and a nice ride go with the s-techs and blues...its perfect...the performance gain is gonna be minimal at best but it doesnt seem like ur interested in the performance...if ur interested in more performance go with a more agressive spring and strut or a ncie coilover setup.

if ur lookin for a picture of a car dropped on teins...here is my old si on s-techs and stock shocks

i heard that s techs are really soft in the back, softer than stock. so when you pump a full tank, your rear will sag.

i had blues for a good year. they were fine, eventhough i mated them up with some stiff *** skunk2s. but now i'm fully adjustable

Anything but stock height.

I'm on s.techs and it tucks tires in the front on my DC. All in all it retains good comfort and improves handling noticeably over stock.
