Tokico shocks and springs

[kylebes1]

I was wondering what you guys think of Tokico? Are they good at all? Will they last?

The ones I am looking at are the HP Blue shocks (2 HZ3091 front , 2 HE2756 Rear ) and Tokico high performancre lowering springs 1.25 inch drop. They are gas shocks.

Anyone know anything aobut these? Are they comparable to Bilstien Sports?

[Bill 84 318i]

Tokico Blues are shit. Dunno about the springs.

Also are there any differences in the 325 front shocks? I relized that the front part number is for the 325. Will these just be harder or will they work on my 84 318i?

they won't work on an 84 318i, the strut diameters are different.

[kylebes1]

what about the springs? are they all the same for e30s?

dont waste your money i bought blues just because i thought they would at least last a few months. when i get on the gas wide open the rear tires scrape the fender well .the front right bottomed out and ripped my inner fender out this is all within less then 100 miles. the rear didnt rub until i turbo my car but it shouldnt do it regardless. if you dont have the money right away wait and buy bilsteins even kyb, boge are 10 times better. my car has 177xxx miles with the orig shocks and they are better then the blues. i bought the whole kit springs and shocks for 225 shipped never installed the springs if you really really really wanna try the springs make me a offer.


STAY AWAY FROM TOKICO BLUES!!!

I am not desperate. Considering my 300000 mile rears do not bottom out even at 110 mph going over a bumpy bridge I will stay away from the Tokico blues.

How much do you want for the springs? you think they are any good, considering your shocks?
