Time for new Struts / shocks.. Which ones.....

[93 LX]

I currently have Koni Orange struts and shocks. I was looking at Tokiko blues. Should I go for them or stick to Koni Oranges.... this is a daily driver thats lower 1.5"

I do like the Koni's but they were installed in 95. So are the Tokiko blues better?

Any information would help me in my decision.

I like Tokico, IMO they are one of the best out there. Ford uses them on bullitts and Mach 1s.
I have Tokico blues on my 91.

What kind of ride quality do you have? I am not looking for a kidney busting ride. Too old for that now a days! LOL

semmed like a vast improvment over the 20 year old OEM shocks, i swapped em out when i installed my steeda springs.

fox bodies ride rough anyways, these shocks help. I dont think you wil be disapointed.

I put OEM Bullitt Tokicos in my 03 GT and while it is not the same as the blues, nor the exact same car in many ways, it was a good ride not kidney busting at all...most of your ride quality is going to come from your springs anyway. I don't really have experience other than hearing good things about Koni's but going with what I know, you won't really be regretting the decision to get Tokicos

For a street car the Koni's are just fine. If you were to do an upgrade I would suggest Bilsteins. Tokico's are a great shock but probably not much of an upgrade. Koni's won't wear out like your typical gas charged shocks if that is a consern of yours.

i have Tokico Blues on my 92 and im very happy.

of course i went from stock shocks and struts that bottemed out so anything would of been an improvment

They have adjustable units that supposedly are multi-purpose. I read about them in the MM&FF May issue. Just curious if its good stuff.
