KYB GR2 vs Tokico Blues

I'm going to keep stock I30T springs. My question is whether to replace my struts with KYB-GR2's or with Tokico HP Blues? I'm looking for comfort over bumps, not handling.

Blues by a landslide. Tokico is just that much more reliable.

Yes. A 1.5 inch warrantee. Tokico guarantees that their struts will not fail when in use with an aftermarket drop of 1.5 inches or less. Being stock, they just shouldn't fail period. Tokico is the maker of our stock struts. Blues are 10% stiffer than OEM.

They also make parts for motorcycles. I saw their name on a bike the other day.
