have you ever had them, or is this what youve read countless others post who have never had them?


Tokico blue are not bad for the price. Just look at it as maybe alittle better than stock plus they are gas charged. Back in the day when they were one of the only shocks available for civics I had em and thought they were the best thing I bought for my car, but like i said that was over 10 years ago. Nowadays, there are probly much better shocks, but for the cash they are good(Way better than stock)

 

Tokico HPs are not made to handle the spring rates found in GC coilovers (default 350f/250r); they're intended more as a stock replacement, and for mild lowering springs. I'd run at least the Illuminas with default-rate GCs.

Then again, you're currently running OEM dampers with "1 finger gap" and looking to spend $100 on replacements but want a "nice ride" . . . what do you care about suspension tuning . . .

 

well its just as a replacement for maybe a half a year untill i can find a job and save enough money for kyb's.

 

i found some used ones for $100 and they have like 5k miles on them and i figured i couldnt beat that price just for replacements since i have stock. my car is just a dd but i still want a nice ride

 

i would save your $100 and keep your current setup until you can afford some kyb's, illuminas, or konis.

 

and plus my bday is in a couple of weeks so i think i might but my freind had this set up on a teg and it seemed nice when i drove in it and my other friend was tuckin with the blues but had neuspeed springs and he said theyre great.

 

i had gc's with blues on my old DA, and the ride was nasty..btw you found the shocks on clist huh? lol

 

We (Eibach) have OE replacement dampers now that work pretty well w/ GC`s. They are about the same price as the blues and have a million mile warranty.

Where did u find them at that price... I run blues on my DA w/ VSpec co's and a friend runs blues w/ Skunk2 co's and the ride on both our cars is very sweet... not too stiff, not too soft. IMO they're great for a daily

 

craigslist. now i dont know what to do, i think ill just save for other shocks then, it seems like not a lot of people like them

yES i HAVE HAD tOKICO blues. They came on a civic i once had, so they were somehwat used, but they wore out QUICK and leaked, bouinced on the freeway, and overall sucked for driving.

I switched to brand new KYB AGX ($300 shipped here on HT) and they own tokico blues ALL DAY.
