kewl. thanks. honestly any improvment of ride quality would do me wonders right now. my skunk2 coilovers did notttt go good with my 1992 stock shocks. every little bump and crack in the road i felt and bounced for hours lol. from would it looks like ill probably end up setting the back and front to 2.

i have tokicos with sk2 coilovers, have 1 on the front and 5 in the back its smooth and the ride is nice as well. my cousin has the same set up and he's got 2 on the front and 3 in the back.. he's is fine as well... so i guess it just depends on what you prefer.

obviously the softest ride would be the lowest setting. if i am going on a long trip i put them all on one. when i bought the car they were all on five and that was insanely stiff.

well. i installed the illuminas today and i must say their is a big difference in ride quality. but i cant yet decide on what to keep the settings at. i actually liked 5 but u feel to much of the road. i think its a battle between 2 and 3. the bouncing is now close to gone. the only thing im not understanding is that the front is now sitting about half an inch higher then it was before i installed the shocks??? i did not touch the sleeves for the coilovers so i dont know what it could be?????????????????????? anyone.? thanks

are your front shocks compressed and just riding on the bump stops? there for lifting the front a bit?

i jacked up the car and check and there is still room for the bump stop the shock isnt that compressed. i think i noticed that its because with the shocks the sleeve for the coilovers now sits a bit higher up. sooooo i had to lower it aaaaa tiny bit more (5 or 6 threads) to get it back to normal if not a bit lower. but anyway its fine now thanks.
