Default Tokico Illuminas and springs

I did a search and didnt find anything. I am in the middle of deciding what I should do with my suspension and was thinking about going with the KYB AGX's and the Eibach Pro-Kit. But I found a deal on Tokico Illuminas with the Tokico springs. Now I know that the Eibach Pro-Kit will only lower my car about an inch and the Tokico springs I was looking at were a drop of 1.5". Now what I was wondering is if anybody had any expierence with the Tokico springs? Are they good? And also which combo would you rather go with?? They are both around the same price and all but I would rather have the better of the 2 combo's. TIA!!

I've never dealt w/ the Tokico's, but I have Pro-Kits and Eibach Gr-2s. I love them, they are WAY better than the Intrax/Stock Struts I was riding on before that.

I just put Tokico full coilovers on my 94 Accord for a 2 inch drop. So far so good. The ride is great, not too stiff, and the struts are 5 way adjustable so you can really customize how you want it to feel. And I got a great deal on them as well. $700 on ebay (usually closer to $1000 in stores). I used Ingalls cambers to correct the alignment and all is well. Good luck.

Well thanks for your replys but I am looking for info on just the Tokico lowering springs. The ones that lower your car about 1.5" But it was also good to know that the Illumina's are good shocks.
