Well, after about 10,000 miles and a year of enjoyment, all four of my tokico blues have blown and $340 are down the drain.. wish i had listened to everyone on the org. before i bought them. Now its time to save up and see if i can get some KYBs.... any one know of a cheap place to pick some up?

don't feel bad, the tokico blue lasted me 8 months and most of the driving was on the highway.

i got the agx installed and sent all the tokico shocks back for warranty. when i got the new tokico's back i sold them for less than what i paid for them.

 

How did you go about sendign the tockicos back.. what did they ask you for.. i have my recipt and most of the paper work that came with them... but i installed them on my own so would that void the warrenty?

Tokicos are good shocks, they just aren't valved correctly for mad drops, anything in excess of 1.5" is too much for them. I ran my Tokicos for over 30k on H&Rs, so problems....

 

i called tokico (i think they where in cali) and told them my shocks went bad in 8 months. i sent them all 4 shocks with a recipt (withuot installation). it took me almost 3 weeks to get the new shocks back.

i have apex springs that have a 1.6" drop. i alway say the the max is not made to handle drops of more than 1.4"

it's all about that 4x4 look, if it wasn't about that i would install a set of H&R springs.

 

Ya i bought my shocks through a speed shop so im goign to have them call tokico and see what they can do.. if i can get some new ones then i think im going to buy some kybs and sell my new tokicos on the org. or ebay.. Do Kyb agx handel the 2" drop ok? cus i know there are some people with GC coilovers and thats deff got to be lower then 2"..

i picked up my kyb agx's off ebay.

 

Yeah, you should be ok with KYBs, I wouldn't go much lower than 2.5" though, you won't have any suspension travel.

 

most shock companys warranty there shocks up to 1.5" drop.

Thats who I purchased them from, and a lot of other org members. he has them pretty cheap. If i remeber correctly i paid 350.00 shipped for all four.

 

Any spring that drops you more then 1.5 inches will most likely void any shock/strut warranty. ***caugh*** SPRINT ***caugh***

 

how long have you had your Kybs on with your sprints? and have you seen any fuid leakage? cus my ride was sweet when i first put them on. then the ride just got harder and harder, and now when i hit highway bridges the car jumps every where.

Ive had them close to a year. No problems yet. The ride is pretty good.
