Tokico Illuminas - Who has em?

Hey gang, has any 5th Gen owner actually received and installed the 5th gen version of Tokico Illumina struts? If so please advise where they were ordered from and approximate cost. Thanks!

Bought 'em through eBay for ~$435 shipped I think.

Using them with stock springs.

For ride quality, especially if you like tweaking your ride, they are indispensable.

I have the exact same setup! What settings do you have your struts on? Or the rest of you for that matter (and springs)?

BTW - I bought mine through ebay too.

I am looking at the same setup, I want a nice ride after the new install. Is the ride that smooth and unharsh? Also, do you have any pics of the front drop?

Check out my cardomain site there are some pics . But those picks were taken like 2 days after they were installed they have settled now and the drop is a little lower. Its a great drop. And the ride is smooth I have them set at 3 front 3 rear.
