Blues are just a oe replacement, IIRC. So stechs. It really won't handle much else.

the blues are too soft, but the springs make up for it, which makes it a pretty good setup, IMHO. my buddy has this setup.</TD></TR></TABLE>
Bwhahwa, your joking right? I am pretty sure that those struts would blow the instant you set your car down.

Re: (sleeperrex)
Ok........
First of the Tokico Blues are not an OEM replacement. They are actually 15% stiffer the stock so that would make them an upgrade.
Second, if you plan on going with a spring that will lower your car more then 1.75" I wouldn't go with the Blues. They will not last.
I have Neuspeed Race which lowers the car 2.25" in the front and 2" in the back and I ran with Tokico Blues for a year until they took a crap on me! Since my car is stored for the winter, I ordered some Koni Yellows to replace them. If you want a good ride but with a car that is really low I would go with the Koni Yellow. They can be adjusted from soft (in the city) to stiff ( at the track).
Please don't do the mistake that most of us have done! If you are going to lower more then 1.75 get a good shock like the Koni Yellow so you won't have to waste your money again on purchasing another set of shock in a years time!

i used to have sk2 with tokico blues on my 94 hb. it was a good ride. it was slammed so shocks started to give up when i was close to the 2 year mark. it'll be decent.

Re: (vlc92189)
I love my Tein S techs. The ride is not bad at all, there smooth and it dosn't slam the car, puts it at a nice stance. I had Skunk2 Sleeve overs in my old hatch and it was really stiff, I had koni yellows for struts.
