Tokico Illuminas and springs?
I found this set of tokico illuminas and springs.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TOKIC...spagenameZWDVW
I am taking these are tokico springs. Anyone confirm?
Also the drop isnt as low as stated on maxmods anyone know why?
Does anyone have this setup? How do you like it? Can you provide pics?

Yep,
Same thing I bought. Love it and I am an old guy. The wife cannot tell the difference from stock, but I can. Car handles like it is on rails. I have taken corners at stupid speeds and haven't heard a tire squeal yet! I have my shocks set on 1 all the way around. I am going to experiment later on harder settings. I use to drive a Land Rover so I am enjoying the sure footedness of the Maxima. I do recommend this setup.

Also what else will I need to purchase? I have all original suspension at 212K

so your going to be disappointed if your car is not lower by .05/.25 of an inch. Thats un-noticeable really. your car is at 212k, i would assume your suspension is probaly sagged a little bit. So really you wouldn't SEE that much of a drop. But you should feel the diffrence a lot more. i don't see why you should be disappointed. If you really are, you must be a perfectionist or something and just get some S-techs as you will not be disappointed in the drop aleast. 2.2inch or so.

I bought this setup a couple months ago from the same guy and have been running it for about 3 weeks now. absolutely loving it. got them set on 3 all the way around. 5 way way too harsh for my daily commute, and haven't given 1 a shot yet. I replaced all the bushings and dust boots when I installed them as well. 155K, figured it was about time.
They are official Tokico springs as well. Here's before and after shots:
Hope this helps.
Oh, and I had a small issue with the seller. He only sent me the shocks at first and I had to call him up and let him know that he forgot the springs. but it was a quick resolve and no real harm done.

We seem to have alot of pot holes in NYC. Would HR springs be a better setup then tokicos for NYC roads?
