Default tokico HP/ illumina?

Looking at a new springs/strut setup for my ef hatch and found both of these on Egay at a pretty decent (hopefully) price.

I'm not looking for much of a drop because the roads where i live are garbage, i jsut want better handling... but i need stiffer springs, especially in the back of my car

what do you guru's recommend?

Quick search should answer any questions you have on these. I just got illuminas and tokico springs just cuz its my daily driver and I can adjust them to be soft most of the time. HP's aren't adjustable. Folks around here seem to prefer Koni yellows over tokico in general. That's been my experience anyways -- which is limited. I'm new to this board. Adjustable coilovers give you the advantage of corner balancing so might look into those over regular springs too. Also might consider a camber kit. Like I said, search here, other boards and google. There's a ton of info on this.

Hope you find a good setup

I personally have owned both the koni's and the tokico's. Unless you are racing stick with the tokico's. They are your best bang for your buck.

Personally I hated my KONI's

I only use TIEN SS w/ solid pillow ball and EDFC (electronic dampening force controller
