At any part did i say cutting springs was good, no, i just said i have been in 3 rides with tokicos and they felt fine to me. So dont get all pissed off just cause i think there good.... you have been in your buds cars i have been in mine, to me it rides fine, and i dont feel any roughness, prolly cause the streets are smooth here.
Not to feul a fire or anything but you also have to consider the use the vehicle will be for and the general driving conditions.
Sac area has great roads (I grew up there) and rarely sees bad weather and from the description of the car it is a show piece and not driven hard (no offense).
Myself I live where crappy roads are everywhere and I also drive it hard in the corners, it has been swapped with an H22 already and is my daily driver. Performance driving is what I enjoy and in doing that you try out many different products and setups.
I don't think that name calling needs to be brought into this at all and if you like them for the type of driving you do then that is great but from a strictly performance point of view there are struts that are much better than the Blues are.
One other thing I want to point out about the Blues are the endurance of the strut. Mine have been on for right at a year now and are worn out. The dampening on them is getting softer and is making for a more bouncy ride (not what I want). If they were 2 years old I wouldn't be complaining but it seems that is a very short life for a set of "performance" struts.
