Opinions plz on suspension combo, Blues&CMS

Hey guys, I was wondering what you think about this suspension combo.
It is a package with Tokico blues and Canuck MotorSport springs with a 2inch drop.

http://cgi.ebay.ca/TOKICO-HP-shocks-...1%7C240%3A1318

I heard that the blues are not good for springs with lower than a 1.5 drop.
Is there anybody running this combo in here, and how are the CMS springs anyways?

Agreed!

I'm running the tokico blues with an eibach pro kit and it rides great, never heard of those springs but I can vouch for the shocks and struts

2 inch drop, all for looks, no suspension travel left.
There is no strut/shock that will realistically work or ride ok on that set up.
Especially the softer Blues.

Blues

I'm running blues w/Tokico springs from ebay. If you are not looking to invest in coilovers, this is my recomendation. They work well together and only drop the car 1.5".

I agree that a 2" drop is not going to be very healthy.

tokico blues aka hp are basically your stock replacement struts, but a little firmer, I had both the tokico hps & tokico illuminias adjustables, do it right the first time, go with tokico illuminias the adjustable settings are the truth, the price isn't bad tho

Seems to me like a bad combo....Go with the illuminias for a few bucks more.

Thanks guys. I've been thinking of cheaping out on my first setup but I guess the smart thing would be to get a set of adjustables if I want a 2inch drop. I've been looking at the classifieds for used illuminas or agx but I havent found any yet recently. Theres one guy in the canadian classifieds but he still hasnt return my email..... oh well, i'll keep looking.
