Ride type?
I am really interested in getting a somewhat more stock like ride. Right now I have drop zone springs, and stock shocks and my ride is awful in bumps and not even smooth on smooth roads. What type of ride will a max with 18X8s and tokico (blue) + H&R's yield? Will it be better or the same ride that is obtainable from Tokico Illuminia's and H&R's. I am talking about both bumpy and semi smooth road conditions. I have to firgure this **** out or I am gonna just sell my rims and buy 16's. I do not care about performance and handling at all.

stick w/ your H&Rs. and get rid of the Tokicos. I have AGXs with 17x8s and i'm loving my ride/handling. Bumpy roads can get a lil harsh sometimes but that's nothing new, even w/ stock springs/shocks. Smooth roads, the ride/handling is fine. On the highway is where the shocks/springs shine the most. nothing better then having that solid feeling when your holding a curve @ 110mph.

no you misuderstood me. I have dropzone springs and stock shocks. I know this is bad and probably most of my problem. I think H&R is the way to go from what I have read unless there is a softer spring for the max? I have road on AGX and Eibach and the ride is still to rough for me. I originally had a GLE suspension and it took bumps pretty well. Almost all the roads where I am are awful, and I don't do that much highway riding so I need to get a suspension that can handle the bumps. RIght now I am hitting my head on the ceiling and when I hit a big bump it feels like my back end jumps to the right or left. Its getting worse and worse day by day.

if they are firmer then why would I want them over the regular tockico blues if I am looking for the smoothest ride I can get with 18's on my max? Especially since they cost a lot more? If the illumina's are the best way to get my ride back, then I will definitely go with them, but I would just like to know. Also what other parts will I need to buy. Should I get a kyb bump stop and dust boots. I don't have any dust boots right now and my stock bump stop was cut in half.

H&R/Illuminas are the best thing for comfort right now.

i was informed it would be good to go with KYB AGX in the rears and keep the tokico blues up front...so if you want, you could just go illuminas/agx's in the back and keep the blues up front if you want to save a couple bucks.
