Suspension Setup Questions.

Hi,

I am pretty set on getting Tokico Illuminas adjustable shocks/struts. I am asking for feedback for which springs I should get. Which springs will be good among H&R sport springs, Tein H-Tech, or Eibachs? I am looking for a minor drop with comfort in mind. I want it to be as comfortable as possible with better handling. Among the three, which one offers the most comfortable ride?

Thanks in advance!

From what I've heard, the Eibach's are quite stiff...I've got the Illumina/H.Tech combo, and the ride is not harsh one bit...

I have eibach and now i want to get something like h-tech or H&R. I hate how stiff they are. I just drives me crazy. maybe even some maxspeeds except not to sure about the quality

i am a repeat maxspeed customer...i really like the drop and the ride is near factory. i have the illumina and maxspeed combo. i have the front set at 2 and the rear at 4. i don't have a rsb yet so that is going to change once that is installed. i don't think you will be displeased with the maxspeeds if you got them. check my cardomain page.http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/334291

Judging by your description of what your looking for, go Illumina with H&R. No contest. Many claim H&R's with Illumina ride better than stock. H-tech would probably be 2nd place.
