Shock & Strut opinions

Since I have the C springs and some LCA's coming in the mail I want to get some shocks & struts to go with them. I was looking at the Tokico HP's ( or Tokico Blues as I've seen them referred as ) and everywhere I've gone it's been around $320 for all 4.

I found this auction on Ebay and was thinking $260 shipped is damn good. Now has anybody here used these or have any experience with them. If they're nice units then I might pick them up also to go with the other new stuff.

Starting to think you are stalking my purchases. Got our GMS arms from the same place and now the shocks/struts too?!?!

Just had mine installed 2 weeks ago with my BBK progressive springs and I am very happy with them. Smooth ride but definately can feel a increase in the performance nature of them. The car just feels more secure on the road if that make sense.

Anyway. I think it was a great investment and dont think you would be disappointed with them.

i don't like my tokico struts, but i really need adjustable struts to help my weight transfer. the ride quality is good, they just suck for drag racing. if you do any type of racing i would say get adjustable struts from the beginning.

I wish I had the cash for the adjustables but I can't afford that extra 200 or more dollars right now. If i could find a set of 4 adjustables for $350 I MIGHT be able to swing that, but I haven't found anything under $425 for a set of 4.

Well, I just bought them. $265 total shipped to my door. That's the cheapest I was able to find them anywhere.
