not another one....haha!! from what i've heard around the .org ( i dont have struts so i wouldn't know), most people like illuminas the best, because of the adjustability and reliability (so far i think only houscor has blown one on his progress springs, but i could be wrong)

edit: i dont have AFTERMARKET struts...i DO have struts, just OEM

What are your priorities? Handling? Looks? Adjustability? Ride quality? Warranties? Cost? If you're gonna ask for opinions, ya need to provide more details so people can help ya.

Whatever, just get the Illuminas and call it a day...

agreed, i've seen reviews from people that turned over from kyb's to illumina's and they have nothing but positive things to say about the upgrade. I think njmaxsletd (sp?) from new jersey wit the 99 sterling mist was one of the org members that gave a lot of positive reviews about the illumina's.

illuminas seem to be the strut of choice. atleast in the 5th gen forum. they're nice because you can adjust them to get the ride you want.

You can also get them for $408 shipped from Performance Peddler on ebay and he honors all warranties. He also has a 99.9% feedback rating. I am about to purchase mine from him to go with my H&Rs.
