Default Tokico Blues with Skunk2's. Hmph.

Hey suspension Guru's. I'm still new to the whole suspension thing and I'm trying my best to learn more and get feedback on whats good and whats not. So bare with me on me not knowing **** with suspension.

I did search this to try and find out if anyone was running this setup on my car as well as other and didn't find anything. There's a guy that is selling Skunk2 coilover sleeves with Tokico blue struts with them for $280 on Craigslist.

Now my question is, how is this setup? Anyone running this with their EF hatch, or any other car? How do you like it?

All insight is much appreciated.

Get rid of the blues. In my exprience with them on a lowered car they are going to blow. and i have been through a couple. they are more of an oem replacement than a performance strut.

The Tokico HP's aren't valved to handle suck a high spring rate. They will bounce the car around and blow eventually. Don't waste your money on them. Try the Illuminas or even the Koni Sports.
