Tired of replacing blown tokico blues every 6 months when the car hasnt moved more than 1k miles in the last year......

Just curious what type of shocks/struts you are running and how you like them.' Im usuing ground control coil-overs and its by no means slammed, how-ever i do plan on lowering it quite a bit after i decide on a strut and get everything else all finished up'.

You keep blowing OE replacement struts because they're not designed for GC coilovers.

Koni Yellows

Extended top hats will help out.

Simple solution, stop using GC coil sleeves on OE spec replacement struts. AGXs are good, I use them. Illuminas are good. Dspecs are supposed to be great.

with the height that you are at, I would think illuminas or AGX's + extended top hats should be a solid set-up for you.... I wouldn't recommend blues to anyone

i know, at the time i replaced the struts i did not have the money for higher end struts and needed to get the car back on the road', now while everything else is apart for a clutch swap i might as well swap them out and be finished with it'

thanks for all the info, im looking into some koni yellow's, there a bit pricey but adjustable and i havnt read any bad things about them just yet', maybe ill nut up and lower it a bit more with the new strut's

thanks again

my konis ran about 115 shipped per corner. They have a lifetime warranty and are rebuildable.
