Blues are OEM replacements. It would work, but not very well or very long without blowing, from what I've heard.

If you're going Tokico, go Illuminas. Otherwise, I really like the Koni Reds if you're on a budget. The KYB AGXs are fairly well thought of too.

If you're interested in just a static 2" drop, there's absolutely no reason to spend the extra money on coilovers. And there's nothing wrong with a static drop on quality components. Not that I'm dissing on one piece coilovers, but they're overkill for most people, and personally I'd rather have good components and a static drop than cheap components and an adjustable drop.

You can't go wrong with Koni+Eibach, and you can do a 2.5" drop on those for around $500, alignment included. In that case, shocks and springs are all lifetime warrantied. If one of my Konis blows, I send it to Koni, and they send me a new one, for life. I could be wrong, but I don't think F&F, Omni, Ksport, or the other sub $1000 coilover kits offer that yet.

Yeah Tokicos are fine. My Illuminas handle great!

I wish I had gotten coilovers so I could change my height given the season, but I'm very happy with the ride my Illuminas and H-techs give.

I wouldn't go with blues either, but if you got em, throw them on and save up for better struts!

yes and no, they are oem replacements, so no they will blow as they arent made for a lowerd car.
but if its all you have then yes, but just save up and try to get some new shocks.
