Tokico Illumina Settings!?!?

I know this has been discussed before, but I cant search and was wondering what is a good setting to start with as a guideline for the adjustable tokicos. Thanks.

2 all around rides really smooth and soft, very comfy.

3 all around rides tight and sporty.

1 is too soft for any sport/lowering spring

Combinations of 2,3 and 4 are fun

Anything above 3 all around is very firm.

Man, I really want that suspension you guys are talking about, then I would really show that trust fund bastard down the street that thinks he is better than every body with his i30t "superior" suspension.

I agree with this completely. I leave mine on 2 most of the time, so my wife and son can ride along. But I can always quickly bump up to 3 on all four, or a combo of 3/4 for the times when I plan to go have fun. Even on 2 I haven't bottomed out yet with moderately hard cornering. I suppose that depends on what springs you have (spring rate and drop), whether you have factory bumpstops or shorter ones, and how sticky your tires are (it seems my tires would give up before I'd bottom out with these struts on 2).

just depends on where you drive. On my way out of texas towards louisiana, I had it set on 3. broke my butt. I set it to 1. but usually on good roads 3 is fun. The car even feels faster to me when passing (don't flame me I know that my suspension doesn't add hp).
