Tokico Illumina Suspension Kit. Suggestions?

Does anyone know much about this setup?
The price looks pretty good, but I want it for my DD, not my 'track day' car.
(Not that I want a Buick suspension either..)

I recently installed Illumina's w/ Eibachs... It's like a whole new car. Even set to full firm the gf doesn't complain.

Oh, and check if you need new boots. I had all the parts but needed new boots and couldn't find them localy anywhere. Autozone, etc, doesn't seem to cary the on size fits all boots anymore.

The key word about what hes mentioning is "kit" meaning it includes Shocks+Springs.
+1 What is the drop these Tokico Springs offer? How are they?

I made a post about this a couple months back search for it sooner and some people commented on the "kit".

Cheaper to source parts seperately, but looks nice and easy if your in a hurry!

You can buy them online from Advance Auto Parts. They're around $15/each. I think the rears are more than the fronts. I would just replace them anyway, as cheap as they are. If you have any kind of mileage on your care they're likely torn/tearing anyway.
