Here's the picture of my tokico blue rear passenger side, is looks blown to me and need to be replaced.theres sumthin dripping on em . does this mean its blown and needs replacement..? damn it has been 3months only and its already blown....

 

r u slammed? it looks possibly blown to me

 

if it is leaking fluids, then its blown

im not even slammed 2" fron 1.75" rear.. im guessing it might be factory defect ...

 

is there a warranty on these? u should find out if u bought those brand new, because that sucks...

 

yes there is warranty from tokico, i bought it from island motorsport buena park, CA and they said as soon as its off my car i can drop it off there and they'll send it to tokico to check if its factory defect, and then they replace or give me refund if its factory defect.. but now i have to get a new one again

 

yeah and u have to take it off... which is never fun. good luck with the return on it

 

spring/shock replacement is awesome! i worked on suspension swaps about 5-6 times over my 1 month winter break. but ya, tokick blues arent made for lowering are they? i thought they were stock replacements.

 

yeah they are pretty much stock shocks painted blue... they are not meant for lowering...

 

i have 4 blown shocks, get used to it

 

but my car is not even that low, and plus my GC coilover are new i barely bought the whole suspension 3 months ago... and now change it already.. im just gonna replace the blown one to a new one...

 

Was it a brake fluid-like substance coming out of those shocks? If so, that would def. indicate a blown shock.

i dont think is brake fluid its a rear passenger side shock, and the fluid that is leaking is coming from the top of the shocks, so i dont think its brake fluid plus the brake lines where the fluid running is that the LCA not from the top of the shock...

 

Does that side of the car feel bouncy?

 

using coilovers or high spring rates on tokico blues will kill them pretty fast.
sucks

well i guess he got a good batch
alot of people have problems with them blowing
i wonder how long mine will last

 

thats why you dont put your blues with something with so high of a spring rate. unless did you go with custom spring rates from ground control? 3 months huh. wow. ive had mine for longer than that with my tsudo coils.

 

im guessing wut happen to one of my shock was factory defect, coz all of em are good and perfect condition still.... its just that rear passenger side went kaboooomm.....!!!!

 

damn...looks like a blown shock to me...but when mine blew there was oil on the top of the skocks
