Quick question, do illuminas and yellows BOTH have adjustable dampening and also spring seat adjustments?

i know that the illuminas have seat height adjustment and yellows have dampening.

 

No they dont.
Koni has that.

They are both adjustable.

Tokico has 5 levels
Koni has ~ infinity (there are no 'clicks')

 

alright thanks.

 

Tokico adjust bump and rebound.
Koni adjust rebound.

That, is a much more significant difference than how many stops each **** has...

 

im goin gc's with illuminas on a 90ef sedan...blox lca's, skunk2 camber kit, cusco front lower arm bar, dc strut bar.

any arguments or suggestions? im going for comfort WITH drop. oh, i will be getting GC extended top hats as well.

 

Suggestions, sure. Save some money, skip the LCAs, camber kit, and front lower bar. They're all completely unnecessary parts.

I could argue against the DC strut bar, but I'm going to assume its a front or rear upper bar, in which case its still a waste of money on a street car, but a desirable "show off" item for most people (besides, a sedan comes with an upper rear bar, its the deck behind the back seat below the window that a hatchback lacks).

 

i actually might need to camber kit...i've owned an ef hatch and a da both slammed and i had camber problems. once i get the extended top hats i will slam it down as far as i can go comfortably.

THEN i will know if i need to camber kit or not.

oh you didnt comment on the top hats? i take it you agree with me?

 

For top hats, since you intend on slamming the car, they could be beneficial (assuming GC extended upper mounts fit over a Tokico shock body).

But, since you want to slam the car, the camber kit will be a detriment. They're all taller than a stock UCA, further reducing available suspension travel.

I had to raise my car 1" after installing my SPC camber adjusting UCAs, because they were slamming into the shock tower on large bumps that I could safely drive over without the camber kit.

And if your worried about tire wear from camber, don't. I daily on -4* of front camber, no tire wear issues. I doubt you could even get a Honda to -4* without a camber kit. I installed mine so I could run more camber than lowering provided, for competition purposes.

 

Actually, Tokico Illuminas adjust rebound only, same as Koni Sports.

 

In that dyno thread somewhere it is brought up that Konis dyno is not that of Illuminas but of something else.

Reference Eibach's dyno:



As you can see, both are adjustable.
