I just purchased the t-blues from SLP for a great price! Everyone says that these are great shocks. I have a 1.5 sportline drop, hope these shocks are everything everyone says they are. I wanted to get some ajustable, but i could not pass up this price!

I guess we all have the same set up. Sportlines & HPs. I installed SPC Camber kits also & I'm waiting for both my Progress sway bars this week. After that, it'll be Grey's endlinks and my suspenssion will be completed.
Hey chrislecool, did you have to rsize yours to fit on your car? I had to.
Sodjazero, if you have an 03-04 model, you gonna have to increase the strut bolt holes to 16mm. Just a note, although I'm sure you already know about this.

Youll love em. i got mine from SLP as well. Just need a rear camber kit now. The tires are getting pretty worn on the back. I have goldlines though. The drop is about 2-2.2" The tokicos hold up well with my drop so far!

I think i've put on 2k miles max since my drop and I dont see any apparent wear on the rear tires and front seem to be fine aswell, Im hoping to have extra $ to spend on a rear camber kit for my next alignment, whenever that may be.. sometime within a year probably..
(and even if a camber kit isnt NEEDED, I can see the difference, even just by looking at other ppls cars w/ camber kits - and also mine just look slanted to me neway.. but so far as good)

1.75" max for tokicos. not 1.5" my springs are for a 1.75" drop, so if my shocks blow, they are under warranty. I am very strict on warrantying my crap, and stuff that I buy for my car. They are 1.75" and drop to a little over 2" I dont scrape on much of anything, maybe once or twice a day, in an occasional parking lot. I live in Phoenix, and they have potholes, and crappy roads all over (1/2 the city).
nikoscivicex-they are rated 1.75 fr/rr. The older ones may have been different, but they sit at about 1.9" fr, and 2.2" rr. I have a large piece of wood for my trunk floor, and a heavy system though.

ok so i got done installing my tokico hp shocks last night at 4am. I had several stupid problems like not being able to remove the front shock bolt ect and striping out a few bolts. It was about 20 degrees also in my dads office garage, but since i like making changes to my car i payed it no mind. When i removed the old shocks in the front, i moved the shock rod up and down and i could hear the fluid sloshing around in the inside and it started leaking on the floor. So i guess i was riding around on all springs, so it seemed.
All and all the ride is great! Now its fun to drive the car, and on my way home i didnt have to think about " the smothest way back to the house". This is prolly the best mod i have added to my car, next to the turbo!

what do you mean by topmounts? the only adjustment that may be needed is the bolt wholes for the front shocks may need to be made bigger
