I think most ppl here will tell you Koni's..... the tockico's are meant to be lowered that much.... I think 1.5 or 1.75 inches is the recommended max.

jttegx has a spectacular aura aboutjttegx has a spectacular aura about
tokico themselves recommend a 1.5-1.7" drop max with the blues. i would take it from them considering they built these struts/shocks. on top of that, tokico blues are more then a replacement over OEM than performance shocks. for a ultimate drop, i would think about koni yellows (or tokico d-specs?)

now im not saying you can do the race spring drop, but you wont get the comfortable ride/quality out of it if you do.

W/ the blues i think the ride will almost be the same as if u leave the shock shocks on......both arent meant for the springs....i have neuspeed Race also on stock shocks...its fine for now but be cdareful when u drive.....great highway driving but bumpy side roads ouch.....save up a lil more money and get koni's thats what im doin......

yeah the koni's are inserts for the front so that means you have to hack apart your front oem strut but the rears are a full replacement.
