Default Are the Tokico illuminas a good choice??

Hey fellow HT brothers, I am reallty really interested in a set of Tokico Illumina struts for my ride. I am currently lowered on Eibach springs on stock struts which are a bit bouncy especially the rear, and even the rear tires are wearing all jeggedy i guess cause the struts. My freind had a set of illuminas in his 00 SI and he said they were awesome.
Im' thinking about getting a new set of wheels, don't want them to get all worn unevenlt and jaggedy, so i wanna chage my struts first. Now I need to know from you guess if it's a good idea to buy these Tokico Illuminas off Ebay for $375.00 US

I had tokico illuminas on my accord and from my experience they were actually really good.

use mine for DD and autox, have them mated to skunk 2 springs (8k/6k). it'd be nice to have a little more adjustability, but overall a pretty good damper.

For the price they are some of the best you can get. for a couple of $100 more you can get the koni yellows which are awesome, but the illuminas are good enough.

I love mine, I got the full suspension kit. Ride is great, easy to adjust, and just a great product for the money.

Yeah that does seem true. The koni yellows are more pricey, the thing i have confidence in with Tokico illuminas is the LIFETIME WARRANTY. I hope it ain't BS otherwise it would be good. I was thinking about Eibach pro-damper for $200 less what do you guys think? That must come with the eibach million mile warranty but don't think it's adjustable.
