I know alot of members are going to say Illuminas, but i've heard from several members that the ride can be harsh even at the lower settings. If the shocks themselfs are hard/stiff the ride will be stiff even with soft springs such as the H&R's.

I started a thread back a few weeks ago about illuminas asking memebers what was so good about them as in the quality of the ride and no one gave me a good answer about them so thats why i'm iffy about spending 400+ on them. Everyone says the illuminas are quality, but can anyone tell me what makes them "quality"?

I'm set on getting H&R springs and now am in the search for a shocks and struts the match them with.

I've had GR2's with maxspeed springs and the ride was pretty smooth and comfortable, but was a little harsh during the winters. My guess is that the GR2's were causing the harshness.

I'm currently deciding between the Tokico HP blues or the Illuminas. I would like to spend as least as possible for the best struts to match with H&Rs.

Please help me decide.

 

get the illuminas... they are adjustable.. so you should find the settings u like.. and get them from www.performancepeddler.com

 

the most popular setup with H&R's is definetly illuminas. I myself have Htech/illuminas and i like them. Not rough but not plush like stock. I'm pretty sure illuminas are better comfort wise than HP's.

 

Anytime you lower the car it's going to be harsh no matter what shocks you get.

 

Do you have any information of how much stiffer each settings are than stock? I know that the GR2's were 15% more stiffer than stock.

 

I guess my question is ...What setting on the Illuminas is closest to the tokico blues??

 

Get Kyb Agx

 

i have the gr2's and its pretty stiff.. i kinda miss the stock ones.. where you wont feel EVERY BUMP

 

5 is stiffest and 1 is softest

 

our cars dont have shocks so dont get any shocks...you will want to buy STRUTS...and get KONI Yellows /thread

 

OK? My question was what setting on the illuminas is most like the ride on the HP's?

 

All else equal.
