I believe you dont want to be dropped on blues. They are prone to blow when combined with aftermarket springs.

These springs have been custom matched and fine tuned to work with these shocks, Tired of bouncing around ? Do it right. Track or street feel the difference with a smoother and incredible handling ride. AMAZING PERFORMANCE. Day and night difference over stock, the best parts you will replace in your car. Comes with the Tokico lifetime warranty. $420 on ebay

That's the set I have on my car. They're fine. 20K miles on them so far. Nothing blew. If you drop it past 2inches, they will blow, as far as I've heard. the only instances where the blues were blowing prematurely, is when they were mated with springs that gave a huge drop over stock height. I don't think Tokico would have matched the two together if they knew the drop was too much for the struts. If you want adjustablility, get the Illuminas. If you just want a bit of lowering, and a upgrade in handling over stock, get the blue kit.

He means if you get the hp blue struts then combine with agressive springs like tein s techs which provide a drop more then 2 inches the struts will blow

Yesum.



One more thing. You gotta stop starting multiple threads for the same question. I saw that you raided someone else's thread and pasted the same question in there as well. It's getting annoying. Just do one thread and wait for people to answer. Thanks for your cooperation.
