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.

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
