if you are going to do any racing or autox, konis might be a better option, but if the car is simply for the street/DD, illuminas are a great compromise on performance for lower cost. but if you were going to be racing o autoxing the car, i would probably suggest a different spring set, more along the lines of custom rate GC.

that being said, h&r/illumina has the reputation of being a fabulous street setup, i expect you will be very pleased with the results

i wouldnt be too afraid of buying tokicos off ebay, as long as they are new. and that particular seller on ebay seems to have a good reputation.

actually, i heard you can buy it off the same seller off ebay for the same price basically. theres just one guy selling illuminas at the lowest price.

or, you can use his price and pricematch it to any other store that will accept it, which i have heard done before.

konis are good, but so are illuminas. your choice. at the price you can get illuminas, its more than just a $100 difference.

i autoxed and raced on illuminas just fine.

ebay, seller is JDMwerks. honest and good price. Look at their feedback, when its 10,000 and 99% i think its a pretty safe bet man.
