I Have Progress Springs,what Are Your Thoughts On Pairing Them W/ Tokiko Illuminas ?
what up fellow orgers should I pair my progress springs with tokiko illumina adjustables ??? does anyone have that combo???? will I have too modify the strut or strut housing? is it plug and ride? I,ve been hearing too many negative things about kyb agx 's lately and I live in s.e. ct. where it gets real cold ( well to me anyway) also, should I wrap the springs with something too prevent them from making any unwanted noises

Never heard of anyone complaining about AGX's. I don't see a problem with that set up...go for it! I wrapped my progress with some plastic coil looking stuff that you can get a radio shack. (go..I'm pretty sure you can find it there)Sorry about the cold...is 80 degrees here in Jax!!!

I have the Illuminas with the Progress springs and I couldn't be happier. If you want a nice looking drop, good handling, but still with a comfortable ride, get yourself some Illuminas. You won't be disappointed.
As for intalling them, if the coil wrap on your stock suspension is still in good shape (mine was) you can just re-use that.

Sounds good, I myself want the Illumina/Progress setup and I'm going to get it soon. I've heard good things about it, but I would really like to know another orger here in NYC that has that setup to take a ride with. The streets here are really bad, I need to know how bearable it can be. Not everyone has the same tolerance for potholes.

ultimately it is up to you which way you go, when i was ready to get the shocks this spring, everyone was on the AGX bandwagon.

I have had my AGX for 2 weeks now and I have no problems so far. The banging noise that ppl are hearing is the upper spring coils hitting each other in rough roads. At least that is what is happening with mine since I did not insulate the top coils of the springs. Here's a pic of the hose that i used to insulate the bottom coil
