Default Tokico illuminas

Hey guys, I just wanted to know how the Tokico illuminas are. Im currently riding on skunk2 coilovers and stockies. How long will the TI last on a moderate drop (around 2").

thx in advance.

hey, i was asking this one guy about the warrenty on tokico illuminas, he said that warrenty is void after 2 inch drop. when i read the warrenty card that comes with
the shock, pretty much the warrenty is void after you do any kind of lowering.
so im not really sure.

their are many places in you area that do warranty service for your tokicos. Many People want the best ride with shitty coil-overs/ springs, and a really good shock/strut. Both of the items need each other. I would go with kyb adjustables, and ground control custom spring rate, springs. with my set up i would get 550 spring rate in the front and 400 in the back. that is what i will be doing soon.

Ground controls + Illuminas= Awesome ride. I have had them for three months and have nothing but a great experience with them.

Same here but my **** is slammed. I'm tucking in the front and have about a finger gap in the back(not even). Rides good but obviously with the coilovers it rides hard. Not bad though.

Send them back to tokico thru the company you bought the wheels from. Usually the only problem is the wait time involved with getting them back.

Skunks + Illuminas = good ride and excellent handling. I used that setup on my old 00 Si for at least 2 years.
