I've alreday got the springs with the OEM shocks, but it's time to replace them. I don't do any autocross (well, maybe one a year) just driving to and from work and the occational road trip. I don't want super stiff shocks, just something with a bit more performance that will last longer than OEM. I've heard that if you dump the car with Tokico HPs that they blow out with large drops, but as mentioned, I have the H&R sports on an EX.

Opinions?

 

Ok I only reply to this post because I'm kinda in a similar situation.

I have Sprint blues, which are approximately a 2.25" drop. I installed the Tokiko blues and DAMN what a difference! They ride very nicely, comparative to a stock R with a drop. I plan on switching out the springs for the H&R Sports or Neuspeed Sports, which have similar springrates compared to the Sprints. My Sprints have sagged quite a bit so I need a new spring. But, if the spring rates are very close to each other, then the ride quality will be just fine for you. IMO...approx. 2" drop isn't too much for these shocks.

 

I have them on and they are great. Very compliant without bruising your butt. However, I am running on the stock steelies 185/60/14 so the lower the profile the less compliance. Much better than my St springs and KONI oranges.

 

Had them for the past few years. Rides very nice for daily driving. Right now riding on 205/45-16 and still not harsh.

 

my friend has some tokico blues and his ride is dropped about 2 1/2 inches and it rides nice.
