Is anybody running the Tokico HP Blue front struts?

Also, what the differences are in the Tokico lineup of different struts and shocks?

Lastly, I searched the net but can't find the part number for the HP Blue Struts for a 1991 Camaro RS nor the best place to buy.

Thanks
Matt

just thought I would say hey!!!!

Glad to see another thirdgenner in ky.

 

Hey BlugrassZ,
I haven't been down your way in several years. Deer hunted a few times near London/Barbourville.
Beautiful country. I'm originally from Bowling Green, moved to Louisville in 1992.

Thanks, I may just go with the KYB GR2's for now.
I noticed that Summit, PST, other suppliers, etc. list the KYB's for 1982-1992, one size fits all, so to speak. Hopefully, that is the case.

Do you have KYB GR2 struts on your 1991? If so, do you recall the part #?

I plan to replace the stock struts when I install your C4 brake package and would hate to have everything apart and the struts do not fit.
BTW, I was extremely busy yesterday at work and did not have time to mail MO for caliper paint.
I will do that today. I appreciate your help and advice.

Thanks for the replies guys!

 

No hurry Matt, take your time.

On both my cars, I run the GR-2s up front and the Gas-A-Just rears. That's what is recommended as a matched pair. I got mine from www.tirerack.com

tokico's are great struts/shocks.... i got them in my camaro.... nice ride... and they jsut recently did an article on them in Chevy High Performance magizine .. if n e of you read it ... i have no clue... just thought id say sumthing :lala:

 

I've been doing some research on new shocks/struts lately too- they are on the wishlist. In case you haven't found part numbers yet I'll post most of the popular options:

Tokico Blue Strut #HB4001 Shock #HB3613

Tokico Illumina (adj) Strut #BB4001 Shock #BE3613

KYB GR2 Strut #236001 Gas-a-just Shock #KG5562

KYB AGX (adj) Strut #735001 Shock #743019

Koni Red Strut #8741-1030 Shock #30-1265

Oh, and as far as I know (99.99% sure) these fit all f-body's 82-92.

 

I want to know how they are also i didnt know till recently that they made them for the f-body. Im right up the highway from u also matt in the eastgate area. I have a 03 protege also and every1 on the mazda boards talk about how good they are. I doubt they could be as good as bilsteins tho.

 

i bet you wouldnt be able to tell too much of a difference between all of the top of the line shocks/struts... wut do u think?

 

dunno havnt tried them all
