after feeling my max bouncing up and down and having barrynyc complaining about my handling..
i brought it over to my performance shop... long and behold!!! @#$%#$ing oil leaking out of my front shocks and one of the rear struts!!!
i had no choice but to replace them with another set of tokico's since tokico will refund me the amount and i'm still under lifetime warranty.

wow! how did you blow them out?
you hardly drive your car.

which proves tokico's are a piece of $hit...
 

they drive nice when new...but falls apart =(
i just got back from alignment...blah
Vic

Sorry to hear about your struts.....
 

...but all that aside WHO'S THE SEXY CHICK??!! :)

That's what you get for hanging w/ Barry...
 

...jk :D how long did you have the Tokiko's before this happend? Just wondering how long I can expect mine to last.

i was about to pick up some tokikos to replace my blown KYB's but now im swayin toward tien i think

my tokico illuminas are holding up fine with a 2" drop

Tires and wheels are another part of the equation.

How many miles do you have on your Illuminas, what size are your wheels, and what size are your tires? What settings are you using? Also, do you have an automatic or a 5-speed?

Thanks.

Heard that if you run Illumina's at 4/5, potential for blowing is greater. Has anyone heard the same?


I run 2/3 (f//r) with 17's

illuminas have about 5k on them. 17x8 rims with 235 45 17 tires, 3 front 3 rear, 5spd tranny
