Tokico Shocks

I'm planning on getting Eibach springs for the max, and have decided to go with Tokico shocks (Illumina's). But I was curious, what is the difference between the HP (Blue) and the Illumina's? Obviously the Illumina's are adjustable. For example, what setting on the Illumina would the HP's feel like? Are the HP's just stiffer? If so, is it an uncomfortable ride?
Sorry for all the questions. Thanks for your help in advance.

From what I've read HP's are essentially a stock replacement. If you want a non-adjustable (read cheaper) strut, go with KYB GR2's. Check out http://maxmods.dyndns.org/index.php?MaximaShocks.

I hatted mine Tokico Blue's, they blew on me after 6 months with my Intrax. Look into getting KYB's instead, that's what I did.
