The koni's will run you about 500 shipped form our sponsors here. But its definetly worth the price, especially since they have a lifetime warranty. Try reading about the koni's and they are highly recommended.

Also i have them and love them and recommend them to everyone.

blues will be fine if your dropping it only 1.7''. but if you go any lower, that voids the warranty for tokico. (if you even care about the warranty)

if you bought them brand new they should have came with a warranty in one of the boxes or your paperwork. But if yo go past 1.75" it voids it. ( but i dont know how they would know if you were lower)

Double Post: I would just ride the blues until they blow. They should be fine for that mild of a drop tho. I personally have had the blues, illuminas, teins, and koni yellows and the koni's blow all of these away. No competition. So if the blues are not cutting it later down the road i would highly reccomend Koni yellow/ ground control setup full coilover.
