Default anyone installed tokico lumina kit

I searched but did not find a thread on this.
I am installing the tokico lumina coilover kit in my ek hatch.
Anyone found the best adjustment to start with? There were no instructions in the box.
Thanks

When I had mine I was 5 in the front and 3 in the rear.

Rode on rails son!

I'm assuming it's the 5-way adjustable kit.

I have the same issue, I have a set of illuminas I am using with GC sleeves and there is no instructions in the box so I dont know which bushings and bump stops to use or where they go?

hmmm, although it came with no instructions, my 5-way adjustable struts came with a bump stop already on the shaft so I assumed that was all it needed.
I am also reusing the same boot cover and top plate. I hope I did it right. Problem though is that I do not know what position to set the adjusters on initally, I have them right around the middle part but it seems that there might be too much slack on the springs

I have the light yellowish bump stop (cut in half) and then 2 black rubber things, do I need all 3 of them?

I just put mine in yesterday and I'm riding 3 in the front and 3 in the rear...but I'm sure I'll play around with it.

You'll need to cut the yellow bump stops.
