Tokico Adjustable Illumina strut/spring Kit (Brand New In Box)

Exactly what title says. $400 plus shipping depending on where you are.

Kit includes:
Shocks (front and rear)
Springs




I came up on a supplier and I even bought a kit for myself so its not like im selling because I dont want them. Its my first suspension kit and i've read nothing but great reviews in the 4th gen sections.


Can be seen here.

Blue springs?

The maxima kit comes with red springs. Not sure were you got that picture from but that kit isn't for a Maxima.

Negative. The serial stamps on the shocks themselves are for a A32 maxima. (95-99) And the picture is taken by Me.
BU2905 - rears
BB3102, BB3103- front Right and Left

springs:
SPK245.246CER
SPK245.246CEF

All springs stamped with Custom Enterprise which i believed teamed up with Tokico to make these kits...



PM me next time.

Yes sir according to the Handling (suspension) sticky in the 4th gen forums; Tokico:1.25F/1.25R. but some say it gives more, about 1.5. Haven't read any complaints about the springs this kit comes with on the 4th gen forums. I spent like 4 hours last night researching the illuminas for my install tomorrow.

450$ and free springs.


Not parting out. Don't be afraid of these springs. People have said great things from this kit.

Looks like Tokico change the springs to a new manufacturer. My spring said Tokico on them not Custom Enterprise.

For ease of mind, i spoke with a Hitachi/Tokico representative and he said those are the correct specs for the springs. So bump this up.

Pm's Replied. Weight is 61lbs.



good news! I bought these Rancho boots off Amazon for 3$ each, and with free 2 day shipping. Arrived today and they look sick! good quality. They were recommended to me by Jsutter.

If you buy the shock kit, i suggest you save yourself a lot of money and buy these. They were like 15-24$ at various auto part chain stores around here...>EACH<.

Not parting out. Now the guys who were interested only want shocks.
This kit is tokico lluminas, and Custom Enterprise springs, the company who teamed up with tokico to make them in the first place.

will post pictures of my install tomorrow.

400$...common people

Day 1 after installed. I love it. I was scared when i lowered my jack, the car kept dropping and dropping. The car sits so low now i have to bend my 6"3 *** over even more just to work on the engine.

Can't wait till they settle. my 18's are gonna clean everything up real nice. Also, you can FEEL the difference as soon as you step in the car. The car doesn't move like before when i used to hop in. I have it at 3/3 settings. I should've done this a long time ago, turning is so effortless now. My GF says "I dont have to hold onto the safety handle now when you turn!

Did you sell the whole kit or just the springs? I have someone interested in the kit as a whole, and possibly just the shocks, depending on price..
