A while back I bought some Illuminas and i didn't like them i used them for a couple thousand. i went from stock suspension to Illuminas and a high spring rate. i put them away and got my self some kyb agx's and coils. way smoother ride. 2 days ago i found my illuminas and i had forgotten how stiff they are. the illuminas 1 setting is around the 4th setting on the agx's. just letting people that i wouldn't recommend illuminas for everyday driving personally. or is just me ?

 

I love my Illuminas, both for track and street. Currently they're set at 3 in front and 4 in the rear. I'm not sure what my spring rates are (Suspension Techniques 2" drop springs... anyone know?) My street ride accually seems smother than with the Monroes I had on there before (they were bottoming out though.)

im not really sure what youre trying to say and what your point is and how exactly you made an equal comparison. please reread what you typed and explain what you like and dont, and which springs you used with which shocks because it doesnt make sense how you could have made an equal comparison and the title and your final conclusion doesnt seem consistent.

furthermore, i dont see how suspension for the street has to do with road race and autox.

 

I have a friend with illuminas, we put his on 1 and we could bounce his car around more than a gsr's stock suspension. (direct compairison)

 

i have illumina and i think there too soft. friends have had agx and soem thought they were too soft, some like them. its just preferance i guess. i just got my coilovers in. hopefuly ill like them better than my gc/tokico set-up.

Yup.
