They're not bad. I would get Illuminas though.

the blues don't hold up too well on cars lowered more than 2". the illuminas would last longer. This varies from car to car (the stiffer your spring rates, the longer they will last).

blues are just an oem replacement, nothing performance, or handling involved, just get koni yellows, if not.. then don't bother.

full adjustable coilovers are the way to go. Great performance, will last longer too. My personal favorite is the ground control/koni yellow combo.

I have had Tokico Blues on my EG for about a year and a half. My car is dropped at least 3.5 inches, with 450/lb front and 350/lb rear springs. They have stayed pretty tight this whole time, so I guess they're built well because I drive the hell out of my car. But I have to say that there is not much travel in the front....just like stock shocks. Get some extended top mounts for the front if you get the shocks.

With that said, I would suggest you save your cash and get some type of full coilover that would allow full suspension travel or go with the adjustable Koni Yellow/GC setup.
