My New Suspension Setup!

Hello Guys

This is prbably a

from 5 years ago but I wanted to give some feedback on my new suspension setup

Lots of posts about what combination of struts and springs works best for our max and obviously it depends on personal taste. I for one, like a sporty suspension but soft enough to give a ride to your girlfriend (yes, I said yours, not mine

) without hearing about it all the way there... Well I got Tokico Illuminas on Tokico springs and let me tell you I've been in heaven for the last 2 days!! When I push the car, I feel like it's glued to the road; when I don't it's almost as soft and confortable as my original SE suspension. The drop is not very noticeable (1.5" all around) but you certainly feel the difference!

So for those of you looking for great cornering and stability but yet a confortable ride...

Cheers!

P.S. - Thanks to Ka$hThaRipper for the great suspension, price and service!

Those are tokico blues, they give close to an OEM ride. They aren't what you want if you're looking for better performance.

Hey, did you have to get an alignment kit for the Tokico Illuminas/Tokico spring combo? I order a set (Tokico Kit) already but don't know if I need to add a camber kit or not. Thanks.
