Default Tokico Illumina's!

Just came in...



...does anyone have any advice on installing them/know the part number for the LCA bolts (looking to replace the old rusted ones with the install on my 89' Hatchback)?

Thanks!

Just follow the instructions it came with, not too difficult. You will love the outcome of them, I still love them on my CRX!

Good choice... I did a write up when I installed mine with my Ground Controls: link.


Be really careful tightening the nut at the top, I snapped 2 of them before getting anywhere near the torque specs... but got new ones with the lifetime warranty.

Thanks for the input all! That link for the install really helped have it saves for future reference .

Btw, I bought the shocks offa ebay seller: motorsportsdirect for $339.00 shipped to my door. Great seller and got my shocks in less than a week . Good deal too might I add .

Thanks again!

I also use illuminas. I bought it as a kit that came with tokico lowering springs.
Great struts for the money. Plus there is a lifetime guarantee.

Call motorsports direct they will hook you up. If you are replacing a broken illumina, it should be covered under the warranty, depending what happened to it.

tokicos are all sold individually anyway.

shox.com usually has the lowest retail prices apart from ebay.

but theres a guy on ebay that sells them like wholesale. has a storefront you can order them directly.

When I originally bought this shell it had tokico/GC setup on it. I've had the car for... at least 4 years now... so i have no chance of tracking-down a receipt for warranty purposes.

Tthanks alot for the info though guys apreciate it
