Newbie Question. (Yeah thats right.)

Hey guys,
So after owning my car for 2 yrs I got a deal on used Tokico Illuminas equiped with S-tech (front) and H-tech (rear). Now from my research I know that S-techs have a soft spring rate and drop the car too much and in return cause the car to bottom out a lot. H-techs on the other hand are a little stiffer and the drop is not so extreme.

Now, bcus I baught this setup used, I have no plans right now to change the springs unless this setup is a big no no.

So here are the questions:

* Should I mount these and see if I can live with them?
* What setting should I keep the Struts F & R? (The previous owner had the front set 2 and the rear set 4)
* Should I just mount the stock springs to the Illuminas?


The reason I purchased was because my rear struts are blown after 113k miles.

Please give me some answers and your opinion, I would love to hear them Thank you.

K Sport Lowering Springs are stiff and dont have a full 2'' drop like they advertise.
They are nice for a decent drop and stiffer ride.. Had them with stock SE struts
