Im currently riding on KYB GR2's and a new set of TEIN S- Techs, but i feel the ride could be alot better after traveling back and forth to NY. What would be the ideal set of struts for the S- Techs?

 

Illuminas would be ideal. AGX's would also be better than GR2's but just not as good as the Tokicos. The S-Techs will ride fairly stiff/rough and you will need a good strut to counter that. Illuminas work wonders!

 

konis that are shorter

 

illuminas.

 

Illumina's

 

for Illuminas

 

Illuminas are what I have with my s-techs. I don't think I'll buy any other brand of strut after seeing/feeling how good these are. I heard Tokico is coming out with a new strut called the D spec or something like that. Says it's "infinately" adjustable. Thought I saw it on their site. Showed it with a 350 Z I belive...

 

i have seen that in some mags as well. doubt it will have a Maxima application, but we'll see.

I doubt, they'll make it for our cars

 

Probably not anytime soon at least. They already have them for Cavaliers?!?! That's just not right...

 

...sigh, it's a messed-up world out there. Us Max owners gotta make a name for ourselves! haha

those struts do look nice, though. Just a flick of the wrist to go from Lexus-soft to Evo-firm.

I suppose it's possible that they design them for the Max, considering they already have the pattern from the HP's and Illuminas. Maybe if we show some interest...

 

Cost is a factor too, The cheapest I got my Illuminas for was $408 shipped and I can't imagine the Dspecs will be cheaper than Illuminas!

 

oh, no. I'm sure they wouldn't be. But they performed better, it might be worth it.

However, on second thought, if they got much more expensive, might as well get coilovers, right?

 

ya, +1 on the illuminas. i got mine for a lil over $400 shipped

 

illuminas rock go with them

 

I found illuminas for 357 shipped to my house

 

i have tokico HPs in the front, kyb agx in the back... the front is way too soft for s-tech, agx in the rear is firm and nice.

 

I am on AGX with my Tien S Techs, and the ride is a bit too firm but still OK for me.

 

illuminas for the win..

 

illumina's Like they were meant to be together...

 

I'd like to know where I can get them for either of those prices!

Does anyone know if Ground Control coilovers will work with Tokico Illumina struts?

 

thanks for all the feed back, majority rules on this one! I will be saving up for a set of Illuminas. I am searching around for the best deal on them, any suggestions?

PS. Is it likely that the S Techs will get worn riding on the GR-2's? I ask because I probably be riding with that combo till early march, when I can purchase some Illuminas.

 

L0R1DA I got mine at performancepeddler.com type in maxima in the "Wholesale Login" The struts are: BU2905 (rears) BB3102 (front right) BB3103 (front left) Price total with 2 rears and both fronts should come to $408 exactly unless the price changed since October of this year.
