Default struts- yellow or blue

ok im aware that koni yellows are the **** struts and would be awesome. But, I have heard of T..... (forget how to spell it) blues. I have and eibach sportline drop. So my question is are the blues almost as good as the yellows and where can i buy either at reasonable prices. Thanks

as far as which is better, i wouildnt know. i have no knowledge or experience with either so i cant help you there. but when it comers to prices, go to ebay. also be patient on ebay. i just bought some kyb agx's off ebay for 230 shipped and they usually go for 300 + shipping on ebay. it was just me being patient and perfect timing. and they are new too by the way. i also bought some sportlinesfor my car that were 4 months old, 90 bucks shipped. so i have all of it and will be installing it myself for a total 320 bucks and a couple hours install time. so my best advice to you is dont ruch into it, search around and be patient.

ur thinking of Tokico blues.....there pretty good....and alot of people pair them up w/ eibachs......FYI theyre not adjustable, which means u cant adjust the stiffness (damper) of the shock...the yellows are adj...but most of the time, unless ur autoxing u dont neccesarily need the adj shocks.......if u can get them at a decent price theyre worth it (usually $200ish cheaper than the koni yellows)

the adjustable shock made by tokico is the Illumina

thanks that helps, well see my ride isnt to good with the stock ones. But im guessing it will improve with the tokico blues. Is it really worth spending that much more just for the adjustabilty? Also are there any other struts that are good that im unaware of?

IMO...its not....im hoping to get some Apexi WS coilovers from a HT sponsor as soon as i can finalize my paypal account.....theyre non adj shcoks a/ heigh adjustment...unless ur planning on racing on twisties, theres not too much of a need for adj........the newer shocks will provide plenty of an aggressive, sproty ride

tokico blues are crap dampers.....

i currently run koni yellow sp3s and love them.
i HAD the tokico blues and they just plain sucked *** so i switched and i must say its worth it.

in fact, if you can just save up about 8-900 bucs you can get some apex world sport or tein ss or even tein basic true coilovers.

also go with ground controls w\ custom valved konis
