From what i hear tokicos are pretty reliable and popular. I had the choice, tokicos or kyb's, i got the kyb gr2 struts shipped from japan and am very happy with them, but I haven't heard any bad reviews from someone riding on tokicos!

GL.

Liability coverage covers the other guy and the other guy's car. He would only get money from his insurance company if he has comprehensive and collision. It sounds to me like your friend screwed himself by not properly knowing his coverages.

He speaks the truth. Had blues on my hatch, blew in like 2 miles (obvious exaggeration) with about a 2" drop. Currently have illuminas on my sedan with a similar drop and couldn't be happier. I have read that blues are great for a factory replacement, they suck for lowering though.

I got AGX's on my sedan all around with some gay Ebay coilovers I've had for like 3 years, noticed a diff with the AGX being they adjustable with the Egay's....want to get H&R race drop springs next....blues are basically equal to stock, they going to blow quick with a drop.
