My friend has tokiko blues in his car, and his friend... has had those for 2 years (...that's what he said..)... if they are only 2 months old... then they must be in great condition.
Tokiko is a high quality brand.
About the springs.... well.... that I have no idea....

I've got used springs and they're fine. However i've heard that Blues arent optimal for stiff rates and low drops, theyre mostly to improve stock feel. That's why I got the Illumina's instead of the blues.

I have the blues with tokico 1.5" springs. It is a really comfortable ride, perfect for aggressive daily driving

I would double check w/ how they were used w/in that time. Sure they're only two months old, but they could've gone through a lot of abuse. Just trying to help....

blue is not that much of an upgrade, they are very softly dampered in MY personal experience and opinion.

for around 250 buck, it's a cost effect move if you need to replace your worn oem shock but they just kinda look pretty and 9 out of 10 people have them will agree, should've spent a little more to get AGX or Koni.

tokico is made in japan and all that but all that crap doesn't mean sh-t when you just spend 250dollar and it's riding kinda like stock shock

Cliff: pass them, get something else like agx "better do it right once or you'll end up spending more time and money on the second run"

Yeah, get the KYB AGX's or Koni Yellow's. It's more money but worth it in the end. I personally suggest the Koni Yellow's because they have a lifetime warranty as opposed to the AGX's which do not.

I have tokiko blues and HR sport springs. Not slammed, just dropped a bit. I got no complaints.
