tokico blues are stock replacement shocks. The springs rates are prob too stiff for those shocks. I personally would just save up for some decent shocks and you should be good to go. No need for the extended top hats unless you are super slammed AKA nutted on your sack

the problem with tokico blues is, they are a stock replacment style strut. meaning they have stock-like attributes and are made to pair with stock springs, not uber-stiff omni ones.
