What brand of strut is better?

The Tokico "Blues"

Or the Bilstein "Heavy Duties"

Upgrading the struts and springs is next on my list. I can get the Tokico ones for 50 bucks a piece..The Bilsteins are 100+ a piece..

What would you guys recommened from experiance?

I have both sets "Tokico" are on my 89 grey accord they ride alittle stiff.

The Bilstein HDs on my 89 white accord and the ride is more comfortable over the tokico.

But mine are on OEM springs.

I did have the tokico on 1" tokico springs, Mama didn't like the ride so they came off and I put it back to OEM springs.

Tokico vs Bilstein HD.

Bilstein HD "WINS" in my opinion. They are well worth the extra money.

Yeah ive been reading around that the Tokico ones are really stiff without progressive springs. I dont want TOO soft struts.. just ones that sit right in the middle of power and smoothness..

idk though.. if I keep with that mindset ill end up with new stock ones..

Has anyone else tryed the Bilstein HDs? and with what spring combinations? how does it ride with a bit stiffer spring?
