Hey i was wondering if the tokico illumina and gc coilover were any good for daily driving? also how low can they go? post pictures.......

 

If "going low" is your main concern, and I suspect it is from your post, then you probably will not be happy with GC's on Illuminas. Illuminas have a stock-style welded spring perch for regular springs, which most likely will keep the rear GC spring perches from going as low as you want them.

 

Haha yeah in this case guessi was talking about going low..so what happen if i get the gc top hats on all four corner would that get me pretty low in the rear?

 

Getting gc top hats on all four corners will not get you any lower.. you can go as low as you want without the gc top hats.

The gc top hat's purpose are to add more travel for the shocks.. and maybe will help the Illuminas last a lil bit longer.. but it has nothing to do with the car go lower..

 

oh alright haha how dumb of me....so since i already have this set up and my coil are down as far as they can go is there anyway to go lower? beside sitting on just the springs?

 

you CAN get shorter springs. but youre going to run into other issues if you havent already by just having a low ride height.

 

If you must and want to go a lil bit more lower.. you can always flip your collar sleeve upside down.. that way, the threading goes all the way to the end of the sleeve giving you more threads to turn down...

 

That doesn't make any difference if his coilover perch is already right on top of the stock spring perch.

 

So that must mean that there's no way of getting the back down lower? Is there anything we can do about the rear spring perch like trim it a little lower?

 

ive seen the perch hacked off in order to get lower in the rear only.

really ghetto, but make sure the sleeve is secure, especially if you flip it.

like i said, you can still buy shorter springs. and you will have issues riding that low. up to you.

 

So where can we get shorter spring from or at? Does eibach make them? Also what shorter springs would work with the gc sleeves? Sorrry for the question noobs on going slam...

 

Read this thread and thought about a pic I saw a while back:



Its a coilover spring without a sleeve and being used as a form of lowering spring. That extended top hat also allows the shock to be at full suspension travel

 

and they come w/ cookies so

win win

 

that's a sweet looking set up no coil haha..where would i be able to find a top hat that long? they look like extended oem top hats.. is there someone on here that makes these top hats?

 

before anyone gets really excited about this setup, you also have almost no control of height adjustment or where the final ride height will end up with this setup.

 

A top hat like that is fabricated. Search extended top hats and you will see how.


Therefore they use the spring as a lowering spring

 

i dont think you understand....

but whatever.
