The blues go for like $269(set of 4), and I remember seeing the KYB agx for like $329.......i say spend like $50 more and get an adjustable set. I have the Tokico 5 ways and love them

go for the KYB's cause the Tokico HP's are too soft. I have them on my Civic and I wish I had gone for some KYB's or Koni's.

Don't go with the tokico blue's, the rates on the Skunk's are too high. My bro tried running them with his Skunk's and in a matter of months the blue's were beat. Go with the AGX's or illuminas
