can tokico blues handle sprint drop?

how's it going. i was just wondering if tokico blues can handle a sprint drop? how long will they last before blowing. i was leaning towards kyb agx's cus i haven't heard of anybody blowing them out yet, but the blues are about a $100 cheaper. any info would be great. thx..

Spend the cash and get the AGX's, hell, if you cant afford it, get the GR-2's. The Blues are a rather soft strut expecially for a drop like Sprint. Expect to bottom out often. Blues are a great replacement for stock struts with stock springs, or even H&Rs. I have Blues on my Eibach Prokits and although the car handles good and rides nicely on good roads, it is noticably too soft and limits my ability to take passengers. I honestly regret buying Blues instead of Illuminas or AGX's, but its a mistake I have to live with because im too broke to buy new struts.

yeah that's why i'm probably gonna go with the agx's because i haven't heard of anybody blowing them out. i think the gr-2's are too soft for the sprints (what i read) since they only provide 15% more stiffness. i dunno though... good luck.

GR-2's are better than Blues for sure, but you should really save up to get AGX/Illumina/Konis. I'm on Sprints and i'd hate to be on anything softer than AGX as the drop is pretty low.
