Tokico blues?

I'm looking at buying tokico blues shocks and struts for about $335 shipped, brand new, is that a good deal and are tokico blues a good set of shocks and struts? How low will it make my car, I am very ignorant on suspension.

read the stickies dude. Struts and shocks don't make your car lower. You have to buy lowering SPRINGS. are blues even fully adjustable?

Tokico blues aka hp, are the closest aftermarket struts to the oem nissan struts. So you won't feel much of a difference unless you get springs too.

Don't get Tokico Blues unless you want to blow them. If you do not plan on lowering them, they will be fine. If you are lowering your car, invest in some KYB AGX or Illuminas.

If you can afford it, buy yourself some true coilovers like Tein Basic Dampers for $700 and call it a day. You can raise and lower your car without needing to mess with the dampening. I have had a butt load of different suspension set ups and am happiest with the Tein basic damper coilover system.

Suspension set ups in the past

Eibach Pro Kit/Tokico Blues (Tokico blew in 2 months)
Eibach Pro Kit/KYB AGX
Tein S Tech/KYB AGX
Ground Controls/KYB AGX
Tein Basic Damper Coilvers
