Tokiko and GC combination question
Right now I am running Ground Control Coilovers with stock struts on my 92 Civic. I am wanting to purchase some Tokiko Blues very soon but I have heard from a few people that some struts wont work with certain coilovers.
How would I go about finding out if the Tokiko struts I am getting will work with the GC's that I have right now? Or is what I have heard wrong information?
Thanks in advance

blues arent going to be any good. youll be wasting your money.
you should definately buy illuminas. theyll work with the GC you have now, unlike koni.

Re: Tokiko and GC combination question (5Point7Liter)
continue reading and youll hear nothing but bad things about them here.
illuminas are built in japan. quality is higher. can handler a much wider range of spring rates. the blues simply cant handle those GC. and the fact that illuminas are adjustable is just icing. they also come with a lifetime warranty against defect, blues dont.

Blues are simply put, An aftermarket replacement for stock shocks...in most cases...they won't last long with an aftermarket lowering spring or adjustable coilovers. Go with an adjustable shock like Koni Yellow Sports, Tokico Illuminas or KYB AGX's.
