I love Tokico Blues!!!

Have had them on all my Hondas. Hopefully I have them for the Accord around winter.....too far away .

My Civic and CRX had H&R Sport w/ Tokico Blue (1.5" drop, no camber problems).

I don't know the drop on your TEIN's, but if it's 1"-2", you'll be just fine.

I had tokicos on my accord and they sucked. The ride wasn't all that good and the rears blew out at 50,000 miles. Switched to konis and it made a world of a difference.

i have never run anything less than koni yellows on any type of spring, although ive never had blues so i cant say much about em, except for the fact that they blew within 5k miles on my friends eibach sportlines...

Stech's have a reletivly low spring rate, so it should be fine. Koni specials (Red) may have been a better choice at around the same price.

koni specials are the dampers not the springs, everyone seems to like the stech for the most part (well not everyone, heard some complaints about them being a little soft, and not as well made as Eibach, shorter warrenty etc.)
