Default Tokico Blues?

Hey does anyone here use Tokico Blues shocks? I'm thinking about buying a set, I can get them for $260 brand new. Think I should go for it? Also, how do they preform? Thanks

:down: they are stock replacements.

If I were you I'd look into KYB AGX's, a bit more performance and just about $50 more.

I hope that price was $260 shipped for the blues.

It's your call though.

coximports.com, I got my AGX's for $350 shipped a year ago. The Tokico blues are not stock rpelacements. I had them on my old Accord (96) They are quite stiff and actually have a shorter piston to compensate for the reduced height from lowering springs.

They honestly weren't that bad at all, but I would definetly spend the extra hundred dollars for the AGX's.

tokicos are nice entry level struts. if i had it do again id buy the illuminas, theyre a little bouncy.

theyre not even close to the sloppiness of OEM shocks, so as you CONSISTENTLY say to crucial SI, bumnah, if you dont know what youre talking about just chill.

I had Tokico Blues but these shocks didn't hold up too long.
They only lasted about a year...
