How are you guys. I am looking forward to buy a set of Tokico HP blue, I was wondering if you guys can show me a site that has them for cheap, the lowest I have found them was $400 shipped. Does anybody know a cheaper place?

you won't find them cheaper. that's a good price for a lowering strut.

what's the lowest drop these shocks/struts can handle? and are these covered under lifetime warranty?

You would have to check their site to confirm, but some people on here say they will only handle 1.5" drop, others say they are the same as D-specs, just not adjustable, so if thats the case, they should be good for all drops over 2". Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Again though, you best bet would be to check their site or call Tokico yourself.

2" I wouldn't go any lower. They r the same as a d-spec minus the adjustability

i would like to have them paired to the eibach sportline springs, which according to eibachs site are 1.7" front and 2.3" rear. the car doesn't even sit that low on the springs, i wonder if these shocks could handle being that low though.

i contacted Tokico and was emailing back and forth with someone, however he wasn't much help. he said that "lowering a vehicle more than 1.4" is unsafe", and recommended i get new springs. he also said that their warranty is done by testing the shocks to see if they were damaged by bottoming out too much, or if it was a factory defect or normal wear/tear. the shocks should be stiff enough to prevent bottoming out though? and he didn't say whether or not they would cover the warranty if the shocks were paired with a setup that low.

he's saying if you bottom them out, they won't warranty it. even koni says that.

the blue's will probably handle that drop just fine but i would imagine you do it at the expense of the strut's warranty.

i took was looking into these also and have decided i like the ability to adjust setting in the d-specs and the koni. i also just received my sportslines.
