Default Question on springs & struts...

Hey all, I have a 93' Integra LS. I am looking at one of the following:

Eibach Sportline springs (2"F-1.8"R)

or

Intrax springs (2"F-1.8"R)

Also, I am looking at a set of Tokico struts. Will the "Blue" series work well with performance suspensions, or are they more for OE replacement? Need some advice... Thanks

blues arent quite oem replacements or performance, their kinda in between. i have tokico blues in the rear their alot stiffer than oem, but not quite the performance i want. i guess it depends on how you drive and what kinda springs/spring rates you get. tokico makes good ****. i'd personally go with tein, yeah i have tokicos right now, but teins are pricey..so im saving up.

Tokico HP shocks are designed to be marginally better than OEM, but for all intents and purposes is just an OEM replacement. They will blow with anything more than the mildest of drop or slightly stiffer springs than stock. Something like race springs will blow them with a quickness.

Thats what I figured. Guess I'll be getting the Tokico Illumina adjustables'. I think I'm going to run the Intrax springs. Thanks for your help guys!
