I wanna be dropped around 2 inches..

Anyone wanna recogmend some springs to me?

 

Go any lower than 2 and I guarantee those shocks won't last very long.

I have Eibach sportlines paired with mine. A little more practical than turning your car into a ******* snowplow with anything lower.

 

If you want to be dropped that low you have 2 options.

1. cut your stock springs with a sawzall or hacksaw

2. get coilovers.

Those illuminas will not last 1 month with a 2 inch drop.

 

^^ Total bullshit unless you have first hand evidence...

I've been riding on tokico illuminas and skunk2 coilovers for about 1 year. I don't know my exact drop but it's greater than 2 inches. I have 1 finger gap all around with 205/50/15. My shocks are as good as new, I have them set to 3 in the front and 4 on the rear.

Maybe you are confusing illumina's with blues? The blues would probably not last at a 2 inch drop.

 

I figure they wouldn't void the warranty for no reason.

I mean...they did engineer them after all.

 

Illuminas are not blues. I know they can handle a larger drop. I have 1.5 inch drop but ppl still tell me to lower my car. I'm like, "it is lowered."

so yeah

 

I'd reccomend getting a set of Skunk2 or GC coils. they both give a comfortable ride with the Illuminas (depending on your settings on the struts). I have 15"s (w/50 series tires) with no fender gap, and they ride perfect.

Not bullshit. Do you drive on glass-smooth roads?

I've had to replace my Tokicos a little over a year every year using your same exact setup and had my settings on 5 in the rear and 4 in the front (3F and 4R is underpamed IMO for 500F/400R). I drove my GSR in the DC Metro area and it only takes one pothole to ruin that shock. Over a period of 3-5 months the shock will slowly leak fluid and become less and less efficient in doing its job properly.

 

i put my eibach sportlines in first and my car dropped LOWlow, crazy low. then put illuminas in and it raised it up a little, then i think it settled a back down a little bit. the ride is alright, eh, aftermarket susp., daily driver, thats what you get.

Driving through potholes doesn't count. If you go into/through enough pot holes you'll destroy a Koni or a Moton shock too. I don't drive on perfect roads, but I do make every attempt to avoid imperfections in them.

 

i got illumina's with GC coilovers. im pretty sure its droped more than 2 inches cuz its tucked... it rides rough. not sure on the condtion of the shocks tho. haha maybe their fucked up? iono
