which struts should i get kyb gr-2 or tokico illumina struts.... and which spings to go along im looking to make a purchase very soon....i have 650 to spend what are the best combos?

 

thats a bad comparison. the appropriate comparison would be:

illumina : agx
blues : gr2

i had the gr2/maxspeed combo on my car a while back. i was happy with the comfort/performance. imo most ppl dont need adjustables and they can be more headache than they are worth.

i assume you are wanting to drop the car. what springs do you have your eyes on?

 

im gonna have the stillen lip kit so i dont wanna go to low but i want a nice drop...just a decent ride w/o scrapping up the bottom to bad

 

i dont know much about springs/struts im looking for some help on what to get....just let me know what you think is the best

 

you should do some research on springs and their characteristics then choose struts to match. there are some that i would not use non adjustables for and some that i would.

 

whats a good combo thats out?

 

tok illuminas + s-techs.....

 

I have GR2's w/stock springs and they are pretty stiff, almost too stiff. I would never put lowering springs on GR2's.

 

im thinking maybe h tecks s seem to low

just put h&rs and illuminas on mine last weekend and love them, drastic improvement over the spring techs that were on it when i purchased the car

 

I have progress/gr2, and love them. They ride very nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I paid 80 for the progress, and 250 for the gr-2. Not bad at all

 

I did some research, and I'm set on the illumina/progress setup that's coming my way next month. amazing struts for only ~$410 shipped from a website(forgot the name), and ~$160 shipped for the springs from the GD. perfect drop for a daily driver.

Don't forget to get the mounts and and bushings

 

Are you really asking this? But Illuminas over the stock replacement GR-2s for sure. You'll like them.

 

tokico illuminas are great with almost any springs but are not worth it if yer not lookin for a big drop... if yer gonna get the lip kit then i would suggest getting the h&r springs (drop: 1.4"F/1.3"R) or tein h-techs (drop: 1.6"F/1.2"R)... it isnt necessary to pair these up with adjustable shocks so i would recommend the kyb gr-2's over the tokico blue's... if u relly want adjustables then go with the illuminas... IMO the gr-2's would be the best choice...

 

Can someone be more effcient, and creat links to cars with these differn't set ups? I'm having trouble finding them.

 

Could the OP be confusing GR-2s with AGX? I've seen a couple sites with suspension packages with AGX+springs and Illumina+springs (usually Progress springs) for $600-700. I don't have them though, so I can't compare.

thatll be a huge help it was at the top of a sticky oddly named Handling

 

how are stock struts with maxspeed? hows the ride stiffness

 

i would say go with the illuminas and h&r...i heard they're a good combo...thats what i'll be doing

 

 

I'm looking around right now, and plan to purchase a set up this week. I just don't want to spend my money on something I'm not going to like.

My set up: 18x7.5/235/40

Question:
1) Isn't the S-techs Too low?
2) I was thinking of progress springs, havent seen any pictures of a car with Illuminas and Progress, any links or comments?

 

The s-techs will make your car look hella nice. For me they're quite normal for daily driving. The ride is actually very nice, not harsh at all with the stechs + illumina. I was actually surprised at how good the ride was, I have my settings at 3/5 all around.

 

If you looked through the link I gave you there was at least one. Kevlo911

 

sweet, i was gona ask, i was wondering this too

 

Do you have any pictures???


I just bought the Illumnias, and I am waiting to see some pictures of how differn't springs look on 18' wheels.

 

my setup too, never had an issue with the gr2's and maxspeed is pretty smooth as well. ride's like an se now. put my setup on a year ago, still happy with the ride.
