hey guys (?)
Im thinking of getting those shocks or the AGX's. I dont think i will tinker w/ the settings on the agxs once i set them, just want something that are stiff enuff. i need the dampening for hi speed runs
r the blues noticeably stiffer than stock?
the tokico rep said they are equal to illumas set at 3

pretty stiff....Is there a break-in or a settling stage for shocks?

Im sure they do, how much i dont know. My other cars i lowered sank about 1 finger (average guess)
the same rep said about the tokico kits, "1.5 drop, will settle to about 2" (.5 in seems a little too much,doesn't it?)
When you said smooth, do you mean since the ride is firmer, there is less movement (dive,pitch,squat,etc)?
thanks
