tockio illuminas? If they are tokio blue those struts will blow eventually and you'll have to buy more struts.

Some with diss S-techs some will praise them. I had them and enjoyed them, smoth nice low ride, stiffened up my KYB AGX's and I highly enjoyed them.

for S-tech I'd pair them with KYB AGX, or TOkio Illuminas.

I'm riding on S-techs (aka Springtechs/CMS) with Koni Yellows. Have had them on for 3 yrs now. Good compromise if you want to be lowered and yet have a reasonably comfortable ride. They're made locally on this side of the border and are available through ebay (CanuckMotorSport).

pretty good deal depending on mileage. are they the tokico blues or illuminas? the s-techs have a very nice drop, but some have complained about the low ride height and the constant riding on the bumpstops. you may want to think about coilovers ie: Tein Basics for about $800, or get another set of springs.

stiffening up the struts should help to shoulder that.
