Default new to suspension, tokico blues

I've been reading threads about tokico blues and I've decided I'm going to purchase some (after blowing my front shocks out with egay lowering springs) is the tokico blues shock & spring kit any good? i've searched but have found no information with the springs that come with the blues. Also can anyone tell me what a good spring to match with the blues are? thanks

i really think you should spend the money on illuminas. theyll be much better. its not about the adjustability. its about the much better quality and longevity and lifetime warranty. being able to set your damping where you want it is just a plus.

you can get em for like $340 shipped on ebay. theres a reputable dealer, cant beat the price.

and i like pro kits for street springs.

okay, ill start reading on those, anyone have any experience with the eibach pro kit and the illuminas together? also, when using on a crx, how much off is the camber and what is the best way to correct it? (i had a camber kit installed today and they didnt lock it and both my front shocks blew out )

illuminas and prokits are a great combo. lots of crx owners love it.

you dont have to worry about camber. you really never have to worry about it. if youre worried about tire wear, you need to make sure you get an alignment to adjust your TOE. and you definately should after you change ride heights.

no, not really. just remove the suspension, take it apart and put back on. just check things out while youre under there.

get a helms, be sure to load the suspension before tightening the bolts and get an alignment after youre done.
