I have the Tokico blues on Eibach prokits and I love em. The progress springs are tiny bit lower than mine so the blues should work.

I had my blues with H&R race springs, 2" drop and it was fine. If you want adjustables go with illiminas though.

hey everyone.
Are these tokikos and konis etc more reliable? Since I dropped my car, Ive blown struts alot. Monroe struts, not performance struts. Do they keep blowing because my car is dropped? Will tokikos or konis stop this, or are they just more performance oriented, not reliable oriented. Thanks.

Tokico's and Koni's are made for enthusiasts who are into performance. This means that they were designed to take the higher amounts of load from lowering springs. Monroe's, Gabriel's, and any other regular strut bloe quickly because they are not meant for lowering springs, and they were designed for for people who have a budget. They typically do not last long even on other vehicles.
