Hey, long time no see! I put a set of Tokico Blues on my '03 CL-S 6SPD with Eibach springs, four years and 50,000 miles ago. With the ride slowly worsening lately, I think it's time for a replacement.

Question: I recall that I needed new bushings to go along with the new shocks, but not which ones; what new bushings should I also get before again replacing the shocks?

Question 2: does this seem like a reasonable amount of longevity to get out of the shocks?

I have a similar set-up where I used Tokico Blues with CT springs. At 115K, the struts all needed replacement. At that time, I had about 70K on the Tokico Blues and 115K on all of the strut rubber components.

When the front struts were replaced, I ordered #7, 11, 17 on the link below:

When the rear struts were replaced, I ordered #8, 10, 14, 15 on the link below:

If you desire, you could replace #7 on the fronts and #8 on the rears with 51631-SEP-A01; 08 TLS Front Shock Absorbing Mounting Rubber. This is what I ended up doing and these are discussed on the link below:

Or you could buy coil overs. Use the Search to find out all kinds of info.

Good Luck
