I was just wondering about the difference in ride quality between the Tokiko Blues and Tokiko Illuminas; how's the ride difference between those two. I heard Alluminas are pretty close to stock ride on their level 3 (which is good). I did plenty of research and all I heard most of the time is that they're the same, is that true?
Can anyone tell me from their own experience, or from something you heard about these.

 

blues are not adjustable..
illuminas are..

thats the difference..
illuminas are a bit more comfortable.. and can be adjusted to "softer" or "stiffer"

 

If you are planning on lowering your car go for the Illuminas, the Blues are for stock springs.

 

says who?....

 

I already have Blues with Eibach, but need to know if Illuminas can be softer then Blues if you adjust it.

 

I think this is still a matter of opinion... but it feels to me that the softest settings on the Illuminas (1 or 2) feels like the Blues.... if you want soft, then stay with the Eibachs and Blues....

 

Not true... you can use Blues/HPs with mild drops... it was even fine with my Progress springs (1.7F 1.5R, and I will admit that they don't damper that low of a drop as well as the Illuminas, but it was fine).

I just wanted a firmer ride and something adjustable, so I upgraded to Illuminas.

 

Sorry, off topic but...http://maxmods.dyndns.org/index.php?MaximaShocks

It was just suggested ...

 

I've seen these threads frequently and I haven't seen much if any side-by-side analyses. We need two people, both lowered or stock springs and one with Illuminas, one with Blues. That way we can shut up all the speculation

 

I had Progress/HPs for 6 months and recently upgraded to Progress/Illuminas so my opinion is based on that... just wanted to point that out...
