just installed tokico blues on my ground ctl coils

i just finished installing the tokico blues i ordered from ebay on my 01 civic coupe. the ride is very good compared to the ground controls on stock struts. not super stiff but very comfortable and stiff enough for daily driving. i highly recommend tokico blues to anyone. now they even have a life of car warranty(just have to send warranty card and keep your receipt)

i paid $335 shipped and was worth it. i used to have koni yellows and dont regret selling them. install is easy.....im very happy and just wanted to share my experience....

yes your right u don't have to gut out the stock struts to install the Tokicos they are a straight bolt in and from a scale from 1-10 to install it is around 2-3

the warranty card should of been inside the box. i think tokico just started the life of the car warranty so i bet some sets didnt include them. u need to mail in the card within 10 days of purchase or u dont get the warranty. someone get to the bottom of this....
