Default Ground Controls + Tokico Blues

What do you think of this setup for my 97 hatch... I'm pretty strapped for cash and I can get this setup (all four) for $150.. the guy that I might buy them from doesn't like the ride... I'm only going to drop it like 1.5" to 2"... tell me what you think

I had the same setup on my old hatch. It wasn't the best ride but it was not that bad.

blues are merely replacements for oem shocks. same with kyb gr2. id get kyb agx. excellent for the money. if not look into koni or bilstein, which cost a little more. theres also the tokico white illumina.

i love mine.....i got that setup, had it for a year now, no complaints, GC coilovers make it really easy toraise and lower the car, also, i'm not totally sure that tokikos are stock replacements, they are definitly much stiffer that a stock shock w/ coilovers

I'm running Ground-Control with Tokico Illuminas. Haven't played with the settings. In fact they're on 5 right now lol. I'll have to adjust them tonight.

I am running this setup in my 95 hatch. I have the ground controls set pretty low...I am not sure how much but low enough for my tires to rub (14 inch rims) when I turn.

Its a pretty harsh ride..I feel ever bump, dip or crack on the road...

I wouldnt go with this setup...I had tokico Blues in my accord and they werent that great either...

I have the same setup on my '99 Si. It rides better with the blues than with the factory shock. If you have the bread for adjustables, get them. But for $150 for the whole setup, you can't go wrong for a season.
