just wondering if the illumina series of adjustable dampaning struts from tokico are that much better than the blues.


does anyone have any experience with either and or what kind of springs.

don't know if you knew this but TOKICO's are made by Kmart.

go with Konis. you can get them for under $500.

 

Depends on what you're using them for, you will have to be more specific. As for the above post, while I would also suggest that, Im not sure how much less illuminas are, and how much you want to spend.

 

their worth it def. for daily driving and those weekend auto-x warriors...

 

I'd say yes over the blues. Go with koni if you can get about the same price though. Know alot of people with em.

 

illuminas are definitely better than the blues. the blues are an OEM replacement shock...

the illums are usually 50-100 cheaper than yellows so, if 50-100 bucks is alot of money to you, and you don't need the added perf of the yellows, go ahead and get em...

though choosing between AGX's and Illums would be tough in the same situation...

 

do you know if the Illuminas can be rebuilt?? i thought i heard a rumor that you couldn't get this done.

good thing about the konis, they are right here in the US and easy to get rebuilt, revalved, ugraded , etc.
i know i'm sending mine in this month to get them gold plated, to match my Gold Fronts in my mouth!!

 

hey thanks for all of your input guys the koni's are good choice and i might just spend the extra few dollars on them instead but i still have the illuminas in the back of my head. its and integra 3rd gen with a soon to com 60 trim at 10psi.
