Tokico Blues

I want to purchase a set of Tokicos to go with the Maxspeed springs or vice versa.

Is $347.00 shipped a good price? Or would you guys recommend something else? The Maxspeeds are already on the way.

Personally I would go with the much better KYB AGX from Cattman.com for $425. The blues I've heard are really almost like stock.

Just called them....$450shipped, that's including tax since I'm in CA.
Now I know why they're called "Stealin".

The $325 is referring to I think the Tockico blues. The KYB AGXs non moddified are $350 and yes the modded 4th gen AGXs for the 5th gen will fit but for a little extra $$$$. They cost $425 from Cattman.com. The AGXs are still 15% stiffer than the blues even on the softest setting. But if you get a stiffer spring, you should get a stiffer strut like the KYBs.

The Tokico's are closest to stock as far as a supple ride, but I would hardly say they handle like stock when cornering. They give my 2k2 a fantastic upright stance going through corners without making my kidneys bleed. If you don't mind the harsh ride then obviously the KYB's are a better shock, but you have to modify them to fit the 5th gens.

I got my Tokicos from shox.com (daryl was the sales person) for $295 plus shipping. While the price is good, ensure you want what you want because returns with these guys is very difficult. As a fyi, I installed the front struts but the back shocks were way too soft(much more so than the stock Nissan tokicos); I didn't even install them and returned ended up returning the back. Results with the front struts installed were much better. No more float or bounce. I installed them with the stock springs.

I just got tokico's and eibach springs from alex at southwest auto for 550 shipped. Springs were 205$+ shipping.
Lets say 15$ shipping for them

550 - 205 - 15 = 330 Shipped for the tokicos.
