My dc5 is just lowered on springs right now and i want to get new shocks and struts. I'm thinking about getting the Tokico blue's. should i go with those, or is there a different brand i should go with?

yellow koni's will work better, they are adjustable too.... should cost around $650 for all four. i will be getting them shortly for the upcoming winter season

imo, koni's are a bit overkill for a car that is only driven on the street.

with that said, OP, is your car a car that will never see the track?

I would agree if he's tracking the car. But if not I'd just pick up some ksport coilovers for daily use. Icecreamsandwich rocks them and they look great and he claims they ride pretty good.

unless you're driving like a maniac on the road, i don't think someone will fully utilize what koni yellows have to offer considering the price difference of koni yellows and a cheaper set of shocks.

 

lol i dont even know why koni's where brought up, i just have always had a crush on the tokico blues and i want them. yea i guess koni's might be better if i was making auto-x a career. anyways i'm on the verge of ordering shocks and struts or the type R LSD.

 

I have KONIS on my EP3 and I love them! If they get too stiff just loosen them up. They ride VERY smooth fully loose but I never have them set like that anyway. WHERE IS THE FUN IN THAT?

Take a ride in a car with Konis.

 

i have a buddy running konis yellow and GC on his 05 type s..ride pretty smooth setting was in the middle didnt even adjust. good setup if u wanna put out that much $800+

 

well i was planning on spending around 600$ but if koni's are really that good, then i'll probably spend the extra and get those.
Thanks guys, i'll get some pics of the install when they come in

 

you could get d-specs but the konis are constructed better from what i remember hearing
