Two TOKICO Illumina installation questions
I received a set of TOKICO Illumina shocks today for my 1997 Honda Civic EX. Each shock came with . The instructions say that is how I should install the above five parts. Is that correct? Also, the rear shocks came with bump stops. Should I use those or the stock ones?

Yes that is correct...
Cut your stock bump stops in 1/2. (They came with new ones?)

I cut the stock bump stops when I installed the Eibach Pro-Kit. Not all four Illumina shocks came with bump stops. Only the rear ones did. I wonder why.

Install those upper pillow mount bushings like your diagram..it is correct. It should be exactly how you took the original ones off also.
For the bumpstops:
Cut off 1/2 of the original bumpstop for the two front struts. The rears use the Tokico supplied bumpstops.

I thought, but don't remember off the top of my head, but I thought the bottom one is supposed to be in the same direction as the top bushing. Like I said, i THINK that's how its supposed to be...but i could also be very wrong, I havent assembled suspension in a few months, it's been a while

My KYB AGXs had rear bump stops as well, but the front didn't. I decided not to cut my bump stops. I used Comptech springs which is prety much the same drop. I would just leave them, since Tokico struts are the same piston length as mine.
