Tokiko Blues in Rear, OEM replacement in front

So I found a legit seller for some tokiko blues/skunk2 coils with less then 2000 miles on em.

My front struts/dampers are OEM replacements I slapped on last summer, no reason to replace them.

If I got these blue's would there be anything conflicting?

AKA- Having OEM's in the front, Tokiko's in rear be be alright? Im not much too sharp on suspension, but if I get them I'll learn Thanks

How much are you paying?

Skunk2 coils are alright, but they're not great, they'd be very low on my list of suspension choices. As for as the struts, tokico blues are soft enough that you shouldn't have any major handling issues installing them on just the rear, just slightly more over steer.

The skunks will be better than 11yr old rear stockies at the least.

50 bucks. But I would drive 4hrs to get them. I got errands to do there anyways..like buy stuff at the Galleria mall in Houston lol.

**Oh they are "Hp" series they came off an 02 civic Si. Dont know the compatibility between my 01 em2 and an 02ep3**

Re: Tokiko Blues in Rear, OEM replacement in front

i think difference was in the fronts, not in the rears. Stiffer in the rear is never too bad.
front stock might blow after some time.
