Tokico Blue's on ebay??

I searched for Tokico Blue's on ebay and got nothing. I have heard that I can find them for a great price, but what phrase should I use to find them. If I search for just "Tokico", it gives me 10+ pages that I have to search through for the ones that fit our CL-S.

Are they on ebay just sometimes for great prices, or am I looking for them incorrectly?

you can try searching Tokico HP, they are also called that. I got mine at www.shox.com for a decent price, like 299 for the set.

also try searching specifically for the CL, like "Tokico CL" or Tokico Acura .. something like that.

Nevermind, I think. I found 1 set on page 7 of the ebay list. If the listing states that they fit on a CL-S, should I trust it 100%, or should I check the part number before bidding?

And is $279 for the set about as good as I will get?

Thanks, Blader.

I know, I know...it has been a couple of months and I still haven't pulled the trigger on lowering my car. But I think with spring here, I am ready to do it. I keep looking back at the pics that you posted a month or two back and it gets me excited about how my car could look and handle. I think I am going with the same setup that you have...Comptech springs and Tokico Blues! Did you have a camber kit installed, did your Acura dealership do everything, or did you go the more affordable installation route???

At this point, I am just trying to convince my wife and decide if i want to spend the extra $$ to have the dealership do it or take a chance on some other shop. Any last minute thoughts??

Is the part number listed on shox.com, or do I have call them to get it?

No, no camber kit is needed with the Comptech Springs.

I had them done at Park Ave Acura in NJ, Jens was able to align it perfectly back to factory specs. If I were you I think I would let Acura do the install .. you have an expensive brand new car .. why take the cheap chance and possibly run into problems later .. thats the way I look at it.

If you're buying from ebay, confirm the part numbers before you bid.
