i just installed my tokico illuminas with h&r springs. right now the front sits a little higher than the back so i am hoping it will settle and even out. i put the struts all on 2. it is way more responsive than my old stock struts. i had a question though. how do you def know they are on two. can you turn the knob only one rotation and then you have to turn it back the other way once you reach 5, or can you just continue to turn it around to the number you want regaurdless if you go past 5. i didnt pass five yet, just incase it would mess something up.

the springs were labeled front and rear. the longer springs were actually for the rear. the front springs are a heavier coil though. i have a noise in the front end so i am going to get it checked out after school today and i will let you guys know what i think.

i had a popping noise in my car when i turned my wheel. come to find out it is my tie rod end. i will be replacing it tomorrow morning. i do see what you mean about the knob on top. it turns out one of my knobs is stripped out which is why it felt like there were no definite notches for the numbers. does anyone know if you can get replacement knobs. i put them on 5 today just to see what it was like. they are freakin stiff. i think i will leave them on 2 or 3 for every day driving.

i had one break on me so i just used one of the others ones to adjust the one with the broken knob.

thats awesome. that is the exact same thing i did today.

you should be. i have had both: the hp and illumina. the hp's were good for a daily driver, but the illuminas give you awesome adjustability. i will make the 45mile journey to school tomorrow with them set on 5. should be fun:lol:

Sorry, I can't help you with your questions. But, I'm considering the Illuminas for my EJ2 & was wondering what your impresion was on the quality & performance. What spring rates are you useing?

Thanks

the spring rates are 320lbs front, 200lbs rear

pu$$y, in my rex i had them on 3 front and 5 rear everyday

haha. acutally, they are all on 5 right now. i wanted to see what it would be like. it is pretty firm. i might try the front on 3 like you did and see how i like it.

does GC mean ground control. do they make full coilover setups.

 

[lilryanadamse]

i dont mind them either
