#11974, "Tokico Premium Shocks"


          

I was wondering if the Tokico Premium's (the blue ones) are any shorter then stock struts? I was gonna buy AGX's, but have heard the were the smae length as stock ones.I have sprint lowering springs and my stock struts are shot so any help is appreciated.

Engine--PCP cold air intake,Greddy header,Accel 8mm wires,OBX custom exhuast.

Suspension/Brakes--Sprint 2' springs, KYB Gr2's, EBC Red Stuff pads,17" Konig Traffiks (silver), 215/45/17 Yokohama AVS ES100's, 15 dollar camber kit.

KYB AGX are perfectly fine for a drop no more than the prokit..I love my AGX! I hear the blues are same as stock..so if you drop it they will only last as long as the stockers

The blues arent the same as stock...The stockers are actually KYB's....Id buy the tokicos....The reason why people by the KYB's is because its the cheapest way to get adjustable shocks...IMO, id say get tokicos because you wont lose the extra inch in travel.

Sorry i didnt specify the fact that the stock KYB's are non adjustables while the AGX's are adjustable......The tokicos arent of the same quality as the stock KYB's however, they are stiffer and are of significantly better quality.....Id buy tokico blues over AGX's any day.

Tokico Illumina are of the highest quality and are probably the best adjustable shock I've ridden on. That's why they're on my car emoji
