Default need comments on Tokico blues and H%R sport spring

from those of you who have had that combo.

im in serious need of updating my shocks and springs.
theyre ATLEAST 8 yrs old. im sure theyre older than that too.

Im looking for a mild drop i dont want it "slammed" or extremly stiff as this is my DD.

so any one have experience on these?

thanks

I have them with eibach pro kit. dropped my car like an inch, my combo is kinda on the rough side but our roads are just **** so i dunno. There is still some lean in corners but i think thats cuz i have no subframe connectors in, still need to get them installed lol.

how much of a drop did it give you and are you using any isolators on front/rear?

i didnt use the lower isolators on the front but i did put the isolators everywhere else. not sure how much of a drop; never measured a before and after. if i had to guess i'd say an inch.

+1 can't go wrong with H&R springs.
