Tokico Blues vs KYB GR2

Hi all,

Are these struts at all recommended with a lowered setup of 1.5-2" drop on a daily driver? If so, which would you recommend? Or would spending a bit more on Koni Yellows be better with a smoother ride? For the Koni adjustables, when the springs are installed, where would the adjustable knuckle be for the coilover if I don't want the car higher/lower than the lower spring spec?

Thanks

Personally I don't like the tokico blues, I found they didn't last at all. I'm now running the KYB's and they are such a nicer ride.

Thanks,

I also heard that the kyb gr2 are a nice ride with good springs. I also did some research and read that these two shocks are only good for stock height or <1.5'" drops or they'll blow in 1-2 yr. Is this true? I was told not to even bother with these..im dropping 1.5-1.75"....i'd hate to replace them in a yr or 2
