Nice big hOmie

Tokico Blues can handle the 2.5" drop? I was told to use Illuminas with my Neuspeed race with I believe have the same drop.

They'll work.. Not for long, but they'll hold. The sprints are a 2.5 in drop, but are way softer than the neuspeed race. I had the sprint blues, the nuespeed race, the extremes and finally ended up with GC/agx and GC billet upper strut hats. Extra inch and a half of shock travel

Yeah.. Like I said, the sprints have a waaay softer spring rate than then neuspeed race's.

The blues should be fine.. only time you'll notice that they're under dampened is under hard driving/ autox or road race. The valving isn't aggressive enough to compensate for the increased spring rates.

And mind you, I'm basing my opinion on personal experience with the blues on my civic(s) and with a couple buddys who ran them in DC's. They're good for general purpose, but for aggressive driving, the illuminas are better valved (and adjustable) for higher spring rates.
