how much are tokico blues?? and would they be a good fit for the springs??
and yes im wondering what i can buy for $450 that will be good for those springs... i'd even go up to 500 or a lil more if its worth the jump in price...

^^ Consider shipping as well, on top of that 700 CAD. I picked mine up for $800, tax in.
mkralj - if your car is just a daily, consider the Tokico Illuminas or the KYB AGX. If you have the cash, then go for the Koni Sport (yellows).

Mike, don't you have GR2's with your prokit? I'm sure it's alot better than riding on blown shocks (like me).
I'm also looking into getting new shocks and springs. Was gonna go Omni but it's not adjustable is it? Then thought about Teins and it's too much that I won't use.

^^ yeap gr2s and prokits.
which i figured would be fine since the prokits are as mild as possible when it comes to aftermarket lowering springs. thing is in time springs sag a bit hence lowering the ride plus the prokits are soft springs in general, thus requiring a stiffer shock imo for a better ride.
id tell anyone considering the nonadjustable aftermarket shocks to pay the extra 150 and get an entry level adjustable set, like the agx's/illumina's.
