Tokico's explode???????????
#3
Tokico's are prettt good. I've never heard of them "exploding" or giving out. Most of my family and relatives use them in their cars when they do suspension work. I don't know who is telling you this, but that doesn't sound typical of Tokico's. Only thing better than Tokico's are Koni's but that is debatable.

Tokico
I had Tokico Blues on my Civic, they're definitely better than the KYB's I had on them before that which died immediately! But never had any problems with them. Of course driving a lowered car with lots of potholes and bumps will eventually kill any strut but mine was fine for the almost 2 years that I had them.

I got Tokico Blues for over a year now, no problems whatsoever. On a side note, just because Konis are more expensive doesn't mean they don't fail either. There is this one guy on this board (forget his name), and his Koni yellows died a few years ago. So Konis are not infallable either.

The installer who put mine in said that they have only leaked on applications where there were sleeve type coilovers.
Anyhow, my ILlumina's have a life time warranty so I'm not worried.

I had tokicos blues on all my cars. Even on my g/f Accord. No problems here whatsoever. This is a moderate upgrade, but if you drive more aggressive, u should get the illuminas. Sounds like you exceeded weight, or there was some kind of install problem.
Not too big of a fan of Konis. They are a bitch to adjust.

I have tokico blues/HR OE on my CL, they are great. From a cost benefit standpoint, I think these are a killer deal. No, these arent the best for tracking your car. No, they arent adjustable. But they do offer a great ride for a decent price. My CL will never see a track,and I am never going to remove the backseat to adjust the stiffness of my shocks. I have had Tokico Blues on 3 cars that I have owned, and will keep getting them.

Blown is Best
I've got Illuminas on both of our Tl's and no problems. I've never heard of the bursting problem. Had a set of Blue HP's on my 300ZX and after 100K miles, I called the factory and had them replaced without a problem. Just proved that I was the original purchaser and they sent me a new set.
