Tokico Blues Price check
 
Hello everyone...
Finally after owning the Maxima for 3+ years I am starting to make some slight modifications to it...
Recently I found a really nice set of 350Z wheels with nice Michelin tires on them and surprisingly a set of brand new never used/installed Maxspeed springs which I picked up from a fellow member here on the org. After debating for some time which struts to use I have set my mind on the Tokico blues... Ever since KYB stopped making the GR2s i hear some bad reviews on the black KYB's... I know I know those come with e lifetime warranty but I am not looking to replacing struts ever year... plus I always wanted the Blues to begin with... When I first got the Maxima she needed some front struts attention knowing that I will be getting a better suspension set up I end up buying really cheap front and rear struts... kind like the deals on ebay... about $120 for all 4 struts and surprisingly those have now lasted almost 40K with the oem springs... now at 208K miles on the car its time for a new set up...
Anyhow I remember looking at the tokico blues back then and the price for a full set was reasonably affordable about $350 to may be $380 for all 4 corners... Now If i want a full set I am looking at close to $500??? I am just looking at the wrong place or for some unexplained reason the price of the Blues is about to double as our cars age???:confused:

Why don't you look into the Tokiko Illuminas, I really enjoy them and its nice having the adjustable option without spending a fortune over coil-overs.

I got a whole set of 4 on eBay for about $450

All the Illuminas I found were well over the $600 price range

Why did you wait two years to buy them?
