Can someone whos had both tell me the differences of comfort, stance and handle between these two springs? And it has a title so dont come in here to flame... i have been reading up on springs/strut,shocks and i came down to either one of these and just need some final expertise input.

Thanks

 

I can't speak for the tokico springs but i have the illumina/progress setup. It's a FANTASTIC daily driver setup. It handles like a dream around the city and rides beautifully, especially above 55 mph. It's not the best track setup but it's actually bearable to drive everyday. It's the perfect drop too IMO.

 

exact same thing for me but I have illumnia/illumnia set up...I think either way you will be happy, think of it this way it is a large upgrade from stock .

 

I have illumina/illumina set up and i love it. Its not too hard and great for DD and track every once in a while. I know people with progress that love them as well so either one is good.

 

Check sig. I love it. It performs when you want it to but has that good driveability ride around town. Of course I have mine set on 5/5. Not so many bad roads around here

 

progress is really good IMO for a DD. Handles alot better than stock & the drop is perfect.

 

hmm... illuminia spring/strut set seems to be popular, at least in this thread. But i'm not sure if the drop would be enough. How much is it if u don't mind and do u like it... ?

thanks for the replies all

 

Mine was around 1.75 inches, it was much lower then what i thought it was going to be, but i do have stock tire size. I love the drop, it looks low but not too low where you are constantly scraping the bottom of your car or screwing up your suspension.

 

is it comfortable for a daily driver? Btw. You convinced me to go with the illumina set. Hopefully mine gets as low as yours. And yeah im going to be riding on stock 16" 97 se wheels. Both you and max95 have wicked stances. Good stuff guys. Thanks and see you on the other side (side where peeps with illumina sets go?)

 

All you 5 speed guys?

 

progress is best drop

 

for a 5 speed or auto?

 

If Progress is the best drop, then why do you have Tein's...

Anywho...Progress/Illumina...

A/T...not 5speed...

 

Yeah, i have a 5 spd. Thanks for the complements man, sorry it took a bit to post, i was just in Daytona for the Le Mans Rolex 24 hours race (, it was awesome btw, and i was there the whole 24 hours, and my car was shown on tv a few times). Personally I like the agressive feel of the car, but when i first got it i had it on 1s which are the softest. And it was really soft coming from a stock SE suspension so i have it on 4/3s which is perfect for me. You can definently find a comfortable spot with that set up for you for DD.
