IMO, I would pass on the blues.. You should just save yourself the money and put the skunk2s on your stock shocks. Blues are good OEM replacements, thats about it. Dont waste your money on them.. I had a set, actually I still have them.. In the garage. They were replaced by Koni Yellows.

If you get the blues, youll probably waste more money on replacing them once they blow out, then you would if you just saved and bought a good set of shocks.

I have the KONI Yellows on my Si with H&R OE Sport Springs. The handling is great. The KONI's will handle anything you throw at them(unless you like the slammed & immobile look; nothing can handle that for long:o ). But its important to match springs to the struts. Cheap springs on expensive struts won't benefit you.

I have Skunk2 coil overs and the car is slammed down. I don't have any shocks yet but i was thinking about getting some Tokiko's but read a few reviews and deceided to buy the Koni yellows. I had my car lowered for 3 month's but still haven't blown the stock shocks yet or i dunno if they are blown
