Struts and spring combos

I am ordering my suspension parts and would like to know how the rides between these setups are and how good the drop is.

1. Tokico Blues and Sprint Springs

2. KYB AGX and Sprint Springs

If you have pics please post. Thanks!

i thought the consensus was the tokico blues are too much like stock to use well with aftermarket springs??.. could be wrong though, but i'd go with the agx's

Tokicos Blues will generally blow after 20k miles on aftermarket springs, at least Eibachs. They were never intended for aftermarket spring use. Get AGX.

Sprints + Tockiko Blues = Excessive strut wear.
Sprints + KYB AGX = Good value package.
Sprints + Tockiko Illuminas = Excellent package.

Yeah, it seems like the general concensus is that Tockiko Illuminas are the best, they are obviously more expensive than KYB AGXs though.
