Great for the street. Great price. Old but solid design. For racing you probably want to go with Ground Control coils because you can choose your own custom spring rates from Eibach. But if you're that far in the game, you don't need me to tell you. If you can afford Konis, get Konis.

The only complaint I have with this kit is that it requires you to reuse some stock parts, so you have to get some spring compressors and disassemble your stock suspension.

Would have been nice if the shock bodies had been shortened from stock.

And you didn't search very well, because I know I've replied to this same topic a bunch of times.

yes, i saw where you replied to some stuff about the the regular illuminas, not the "R"s.

yeah, it sucks about using some stock parts, but even if you do the gc/koni setup, you have to use your current shock tops/hats unless you buy the extended gc ones, but im trying not to spend 1000$ here.
