Click on the link below, I may be able to work something out with separating it from the s-techs if you're serious about buying them.

Thanks,

thanks, but since I am looking for a brand new set right out of the box I will probably try ebay and other sites on the web as well.....

I have. They are great because you can adjust them depending on the spring rate of your springs. I ordered mine from Sport Compact Only. You get a 10% org discount if you go through Steve.

i have illumina's, have been riding on hardest setting, 5/5 and love the handle, some complain cause i'm on h-tech springs and the combination is harsher than a stock setup which most of my friends are used to.

EDIT***

Yeah, so after re-reading the original post, I realized he was asking WHERE to buy the tokicos, not if he should. Sorry, early morning, no coffee, half dead atm.

And to be precise, Steve Gonzales or "Maxima Steve" because there is more than one Steve over there. He is Y2kseSteve on the .Org.

for Steve and SCO.

Also, Steve used to be able to price match most other vendors if you find something cheaper, another reason why I liked dealing with him.

I just got illumina's installed this weekend.

Got them from EBay for $430 shipped.

Installed them with a buddy yesterday afternoon. The difference has been amazing. As yet I have moved the settings from 1 all around to 3 all around.
I am using original springs so I think I'm going to either leave it at 3 or 4.

I did my research last month and found eBay to be the cheapest for them.
