where could i get tokico blues at the best price???

I only need the front struts. I emailed shox.com and they quoted me 63 a piece for the fronts before shipping. Is this the best i can get? Or does anyone know of someplace i can get em at at better price?


Thanks in advance.

Yea he was the first guy i checked but he wanted 120 for just the fronts. I was shocked and sent him a reply email asking if it was a typo or what and he never replied. I was ready to buy oh well.

really? it must of been a different seller. the guy im talking about only sells them in full sets. He has an auction up right now for a set. They used to be $30 less, but charged $29 shipping. Now he offers "free shipping", but jacked the price up. imagine that

Ahh, i just relized you only need the fronts. Why only the fronts?

It probably costs him to open up the box.

Well get this i am probably the only person on the earth that bought 2 rear sets of tokico blues ( have 2 cars that need a suspension) but not one freaking front tokico blue. So technically i need 4 front struts but ca only afford to do one car at a time. But the rears on my car feel great now!!!!

Great? I just put the aforementioned eBay sellers Tokico HP's on all four corners...

They are much harder riding than I thought they would be, and the rear still sits too high. I need to figure out how to lower it a little bit so it looks better.

Pricewise wasn't too bad, about $430 total, this includes putting them on and aligning the car, and the shipping for them.
