Tokico Illumina's and Eibach Springs

I know some of you guys are running this set up on your cars, and this is the set up I am going to install on my wife's 03, but I was wondering if you guys with this set up, like the way the car rides and handles? Also, what is the best setting for the struts, front and rear, for everyday driving. My wife drives this car 90 miles a day, round trip to work and sitter's and home, I don't want it so stiff that it shakes the family to death, but a nice setting is good. Also, if you guys with this set up are running your factory wheels, can you please post some pics, this will give me an idea of how low her car will look. I am already running a lower profile tire than factory, I am running 235/45/17 on the factory SE wheels, but my wife wants me to put the factory GLE wheels on it. Thanks in advance guys!

You'll be happy w/ Eibachs. I had Eibachs w/ Tokico blues. I liked the drop (not too extrememe) and handled way better than stock suspension.

I've been in my friend '99 with Illumina's and Eibach's and the ride is amazing. Smooth, yet tight, not harsh by any means. Highway driving is amazing too.
