Default Tokico Blue for 6th gen ???

Does anyone have any experience with tokico blues and hr sports ? Is this a good set up to have, and does anyone know if these shocks were designed to be with spring lower than stock ???

uh, I do believe they were specifically made for lowering. I think the resevoir chamber in the strut is set lower than stock to decrease the chances of blowing.

Yet they still blow on people all the time.
So many people selling sets of tokico on line with one new.
I always ask why and the reply is always the same.
One blew.

**IMPORTANT**

KYB AGX aren't available for the 6th Gen. How many times do I have to tell you guys this?

notoriousB has Neuspeed springs, and Tokico Blues on his 6th Gen. He absolutely loves them.

Looks like I've blown my shocks and I need some new ones. I already have Pro Kit springs and am wondering if the price diff in Tokico Blues and Koni Yellows should affect my decisions? And of course are Koni Yellows the best choice?

I have had my blues on for 5 years...they haven't blown, but damn the ride sucks.

I highly reccommend not getting the blues. Alot of bad comments about them.

like i said, blues = garbage
blues = non height\dampening adjustable

not a good damper except for some people like it.

koni yellow = height and dampening adjustable
sp3s are 5 way height and regulars are 3 way height
also good are bilstein hd's
