Tokico shocks question

Acutally I was looking for Blistein Sport shocks to pair with my H&R springs but they cost me $450ish and I don't think I have that much money to pay for it. So now I am looking something that is close to blistein.
Can I get Tokico Blue HP shocks to pair with H&R Sport springs?
Is there any problem?
Will the shocks run out so fast with H&R sport?

Thanks guys.

i have the tokico blue HP shocks with my comptech springs and they are great. i have read that they have great customer service and that if yours blow out, they will replace as long as you are cool and stuff. i think they should be just fine with the sports. good luck.

I have Tokico illumina with H&R 50103 and they are awesome. I have them set to 3 in the back and 2 in the front. (1-5 scale where 5 is firmest).

I'd spend the extra and get the illumina's at least in the front.

OEM shocks wear out at least 2x quicker than a cheap (but quality) aftermarket unit. Something like the Tokicos (either one) will probably last 75k before it needs to be replaced.

I'm actually going to get the H&R Sports with the tokico Blues in Jan or Feb for my TL.

I have the blues with Tanabe springs and they are very nice. I wouldnt pay extra for the adjustable ones because I really doubt you would ever mess with it and the blues ride very nice just how they are.

I've got the blues with my H&R and I love them. They ride great, but are firmer than stock. I was going back and forth on blues or illuminas but as ou sig said, how much are you really gonna use it. If you like to go to the track, maybe...but for everyday driving, I am sure you're not gonna get out there and adjust it before you go to work in the morning. Just my but get whatever works best for you. But to answer your question, the blues will pair with your H&R just fine...same set up I have

I just got mine done, about 2 weeks ago. H&R Sports with Tokico Blues. I only have about 300 miles on them but I love it.

i just got my Tokico Illumina & H&R in 2 days ago. It felt just like my previous setup (Comptech + Stock shocks). I was so disappointed. I had my front set to 1 and 3 on rear. Very stiff ride and bumpy! Maybe i should start judging after they settle, hopefully they'll be softer!

wow, the blues arent stiff or bumpy at all. I used to have exactly what you did - old Comptech springs and stock struts and my new setup rides perfect

I've got Tokico Illumina's and Eibach Springs. Great shock. I run the front either at 2 or 4 depending on where I am driving.
