the illuminas are an excellent choice besides being a complete step up from the tokico blues you7 have the ability to ajust the ride feel to your liking if i had 114 a piece they would be on my car now.

I heard that the adjustment **** on the Tokico Illuminas easily snaps off, rendering the shocks unadjustable and stuck in the current setting.

For this very reason, I bought KYB AGX shocks instead. I recommend doing so. I have had them for 2 years and they're great.

Food for thought.

youre going wish you got coilovers when you find out one side is higher than the other or it is too low/high and you want to adjust. I will never buy just springs!

oh yeah, i recommend koni yellows/ground control setup over your setup.
1. you can choose the spring rates
2. koni makes high quality shocks. Dampening adjustability(not the click ones)
3. both offer lifetime warranty- which you will probably never use

Everyone uses this combination, its a proven setup.
