Default Tokico Illumina shock help.

I've have some Tokico Illumina shocks on my EJ1. The car has been a project car up until this weekend when I finally finished it. I had to drive the car to and from paint and it was REALLY bouncy. What setting on the shock will eliminate the most bounce? Thanks!

I use H&R sports and have my Illumina's at #3 on front, and #2 on rear.

Thanks. I'm not sure what they're set at right now, but if they're at setting 1; I'll just go to 5 and play with it until I find something I like. I'll try the 3/2 setting as well; I'll just drive around with a screwdriver and that insert until I find what I like.

Thanks!

SPW coilovers. I'm planning on getting Ground Control, but for right now this is what I have.

That's part of why your ride is so bouncy. SPW Coils are just skunk2 knockoffs, ie. eBay Specials.

Yeah, I figured as much. I have a good feeling the GC's will change a lot of that.
