H&R springs, but with what shocks?!
I know alot of members are going to say Illuminas, but i've heard from several members that the ride can be harsh even at the lower settings. If the shocks themselfs are hard/stiff the ride will be stiff even with soft springs such as the H&R's.
I started a thread back a few weeks ago about illuminas asking memebers what was so good about them as in the quality of the ride and no one gave me a good answer about them so thats why i'm iffy about spending 400+ on them. Everyone says the illuminas are quality, but can anyone tell me what makes them "quality"?
I'm set on getting H&R springs and now am in the search for a shocks and struts the match them with.
I've had GR2's with maxspeed springs and the ride was pretty smooth and comfortable, but was a little harsh during the winters. My guess is that the GR2's were causing the harshness.
I'm currently deciding between the Tokico HP blues or the Illuminas. I would like to spend as least as possible for the best struts to match with H&Rs.
Please help me decide.

the most popular setup with H&R's is definetly illuminas. I myself have Htech/illuminas and i like them. Not rough but not plush like stock. I'm pretty sure illuminas are better comfort wise than HP's.

Do you have any information of how much stiffer each settings are than stock? I know that the GR2's were 15% more stiffer than stock.
