Tokico Blues

So some people say that Tokico Blues are not good with 2in drops. I am looking into purchasing some blues but my car is dropped about 2in. I am dropped with Progress springs and was wondering if the blues will be ok.

Re: Tokico Blues

well its not recommended, because the shock is only rated for 1.5 inch max drop. will it still work? yes, but it may not last as long. still a good option for lowered cars. theyre very stiff yet supportive with little bounce.

Theres other options for dampers like Koni, Bilstien, D-specs

Re: Tokico Blues

I prefer the tokico over the koni lol. Possibly since the koni's are only rebound adjustable. I would love to see a review comparing the dspecs vs the koni.

Re: Tokico Blues

How are the roads in Northern VA? I thought I'd never blow the konis living in NJ but I was mistaken. I'm not slammed either 1.75 inch drop all around.

Re: Tokico Blues

Konis arent meant to handle more than 1.5" drop on progressive springs. Konis are made for linear-spring rates, like Ground Controls.

there okay not the best I have ever had that for sure there getting worse on the beltway right the moment cause there tearing everything up for the new fastlanes. But dc is only a couple blocks away from me and those road are bad. It'll rough you up in my landrover and knock your teeth out in the civic, I have seen potholes from land mines that were not as bad
