Hello,

I'm new on the site.

I have the same problem. My shocks need to be replaced but I want to keep my stock springs.

Are these any good?

*If you just want to replace your stock struts/shocks and keep OEm springs, then I believe its the Tokia HP Blues you want.
*If you want to Lower you car a bit but still have the stock ride comfort then Illuminas and H&R springs is what you'll want.

Thank You.
I assume that these are the ones you are talking about?

Not much in the price difference either.

Any place I can buy them cheaper if possible?

yes those are the ones. I'm not sure where you can get them for cheaper than that, I believe thats about as low as it goes, but I'm not too sure.

Tokico makes high quality products so they should last you a long time. No they will not lower your car. The springs are what determine the height of your car. I'de go for the tokicos.

I have the Tokicos also, and that is a good price. I think I got my set for $350 shipped. I have suspension techniques springs (1/2" drop or something) and they're softer than the SE springs. I don't recommend the Susp. Tech. in case you see them - the tokico blue + stock springs should be fine.

Tockico Blue HP from Ebay for about $280 w/shipping. They wont lower the car, you can use the stock springs and it will stiffen the ride.
