poison

Phatwhippin_CRX

had my blues for two years or hard driving, every day..... still handle like a champ

Losrocket_

Same here. I had them on my old car for almost two years and i have them on my current car and theyre holding up great.

ULTRA911

because people are comparing them with the kyb agx, gives the blue a bad rep. my bro has a used blue setup with a 2.5" drop. been on the car for about 3yrs now.

Cam79

right on i just wanted to get more info about em but if you guys like em maybe i should get em huh

kyler

i've blown one 6 months after installation, about 1.5" down on skunkworks

I have the ground control coilcover and tokico blues combo and still runs great in my car... Its been over year and a half and still runnin smooth

I had the same problem with the same setup: Skunk2s and Tokico. I think it's just that the Skunk2s are too damn stiff.

REDBARON

You are right about that.
The Tokico Blues or HP's are better than stock, but are not designed to handle springs with a high spring rate like skunk2. I have the GC and the Tokico blues and it doesn't like it very much either. Although they can handle my higher spring rate, they can't handle it when I lower my car past 1". The shock travel is minimized and the Blue's are not designed to handle that. I've had my shocks for about 2 years and they have not blown yet. I had them for 1.5 of the 2 years on ST lowering springs and they handled great. I currently have them on my GC lowered about 1" on all fours and they handle good, but if I go lower than that they get real bouncy.

i have the same setup with 1.5 inch drop. i always thought it was the blues. are the skunks really that stiff? should i raise it to 1.25? my ride is stiff AND bouncy as hell.. btw cant hang too well, hung better with the ST springs. any ideas on making my ride softer?

drunk

the tokico blues are SHITTY AS ****...i had them on my old 91 dx when i lowererd the car after putting them on from the jack the rear right BLEW!!!!! that was maybe 25 seconds of being on the ground i was ******* pissed...then like 2 days later the other rear went....i was ******* pissed i called tokico and bitched and they would NOT replace them for some bullshit reason..now i have bilstein shocks O MY GOD they are 75 percent better then those tokico...they handle good and NOT bouncy at all..handle like a dream...i guess you pay for what u get

SuperCivic

i've been running tokico illuminas w/ matched H&R springs for about 1 1/2 years..

phoboyjimmy

Been runnin' a similar setup and my car is handling GREAT!

blues do everything else is cool

What is the spring rate of your H&R's? Are they linear or progressive?

I've had nothing but good luck with the Illuminas. My 90 CRX currently has 450# springs up front and 350# springs in the rear with Illuminas. So far so good, I'm only worried about the fronts.
However, my old 86 has Illuminas on it along with the full "Mulholland Drive" suspension kit JR offered back in the day (torsen bars, sway bars, everything). The Illuminas are damn near 10 years old and have never given me any trouble.

For a street car/daily driver, I don't think you can beat the performance of the Illumina's for the $ spent.

Cam79

well what do you guys think of illuminas with some neuspeed race springs is that a good idea

Skunk springs ARE really that stiff. 500 lbs / 400 lbs. It's also the same part for 88-00 civic, meaning you're using the same coilover as say a 2600 lb newer civic. Kiss your body roll goodbye...

i've got whites. had for 3mons. w/ ground control on gs-r. no problems

-TJ

Well...unless Skunk changed things since I bought mine, the 500/400# (10/8Kg/mm) springs are what they supply for Integra's. Civic/CRX kit uses 6&8Kg/mm which is like 450#/350#.

I've got Skunk 8Kg springs in the front of my B16A CRX and Ground Control 350# springs in the rear with illuminas. The ride is firm, but not too stiff....
