Tokico Illumina Shock/Spring combo any good?
Does anyone out there have Illuminas and Tokico springs on their car? If so, any pics/comments about ride? I just bought a '95 max w/ 168k miles and the suspension is just tired, haha. Thanks for your help.

Illuminas are one of the most softest riding aftermarket strut there is. those with tokicko springs should be a smoothe assss ride

This is funny- I just posted a similar thread and I just saw this one. Is the drop with these springs more than the HR? How would this set compare to the illumina HR setup?

I HEARD if you have an automatic, drop is fine, if you have a 5 speed, front will be higher. I have a 5 speed and are going with Illuminas and H-Techs.

that is a really helpful picture, the drop w/ the illuminas looks great, and the 17's make me think that that might be a good thing down the road too
