If you can't shell out $ for Tokico/H&R combo then you may want to consider Tokico Illumina suspension kit. You can find one for approx. $540-550(+shipping) on eBay. OR if that's too high for you then check out Tokico HP suspension kit at about $380(+shipping).

Illumina kit -> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TOKIC...spagenameZWDVW

I plan on buying the Tokico illumina kit for 540 already, but If I decide to get some eibach springs, what would be some good struts to go with it? Just wondering and what kind of ride would I get?

weird question...why buy the kit if you don't need the springs?

Why not buy the Eibach springs & Illuminas separately? I guess I'm missing something here...

Actually, I should of said, just in case I change my mind and don't buy the kit and go with eibach springs, but basically I wanted to know what are some good struts for the eibach springs? still the Tokico illuminas?

Now if you go with the Tokico Illumina kit you can get it for $524.43 from PerformancePeddler.com. Just log in as maxima for the discount or you can go with the spring of your choice w/Illumina struts & shocks. I'm going with the Illumina kit myself. The price is cheaper than anyone on e-bay!

OT guys here but it's still a shock/strut question.

The owner before me put in KONI Yellow Sport adjustable shocks - I can figure out how to adjust the tension with the plastic **** BUT how do you adjust the ride height at the front? Can you without lower springs or taking the front shocks off?

Cheers

Im getting a great ride from my KYB/AGX and EIBACH PRO setup plus im on 20's so it enough to keep me from rubbing even on the softest setting.

Holy s h i t - you run doves? Wow...nothing like that in New Zealand. Got some clowns with ugly chrome 19's but no 20's. Any pics would be fantastic mate.

OT sorry.

There's no way to adjust the height on those shocks without getting different springs (or buying Ground Control spring-and-sleeves).
