So the lower you go, the worse it gets. After reading this... maybe I only want to go down 1.5" instead of 2.0"

But man, I wanna make sure I get every last bit of that 1.5". All these spring companies are waaay too liberal when it comes to how much they say their springs lower a car. In my experience at least. If they say they lower 1.5", I assume they really only lower 1". Probly more like 0.9 or 0.8". If they say they lower 2", its really going to be more like 1.4".

And what is it about tokico blues that makes it a better shock, when it comes to lowering? I mean, does that little plunger thing inside the shock have more room to travel up and down, or something?

I'd have to go out on a limb for this entire community and state that it is our experience that manufacturer specs are pretty much bang on. Nobody has made a claim with any spring that it is lowering 25-50% less than claimed on the box.
