#5- Anyone who thinks Tokico Blues work great with stiff springs is smoking crack, period.

I agree with the Tockico, statment.
I really don't think they up to damping agressive springs either.
Although many people swear by them, and it is hard to argue opinion, these are the people who have never had experience with anything else.
I also believe strongly that you, must plan out your suspension before throwing it on. Down to every detail. This like Texan said will save you a lot of money and much headache.
