are they really worth the money or are the tokico blues good enough or are there shocks just as good but cheaper?

 

tokico blues are almost stock-like. DO NOT GET THEM.

 

what are you getting them for. the blues won't handle a big drop for long or handle high spring rates.

 

I got Tokico illimunas but I have a big drop


I say 0-2 inch drop get KYB AGXs
Anywhere from 2 inch and on get the tokicos.

Only problem I had with them was I ripped off some of the thread at the top where the shock mounts. Still was able to bolt it in.

 

i have tokicos and i love them

i love hammering through turns with the shocks set on 2

 

adjustable is the way to go regardless of the brand. the hp's or blues are substantially stiffer than stock but the come without adjustability, and besides its like what a 15-20 buck diff between the 2. so go with the illuminas, or just save for a mean suspension setup.

 

i love my illuminas!!!

i wish i knew how to properly adjust though. mine are stuck on 3 i think lol.

 

illumina's are nice........kinda takes a while to dial them in w/ the coilovers....also w/ whatever wheels your rollin on....I really like how easy it is to adjust it! Just need a flat head screw driver, and start clickin away!

 

they are goin to be goin on a 99 EK coupe w/h&r race springs...will that be a good setup?

 

so you guys recommend the illuminas for big drops.

I'd recommend Koni yellows for big drops, specifically the Neuspeed versions with shorter strut rods.
I went from Illuminas to Koni yellows...the difference was night and day better. Besides one of my illuminas began to leak using oem springs. I figured why not upgrade??

 

I have had my illuminas on my 99 Si and my 93 hatch... They are the best... I have skunk2 coilovers on the Si with tokico ill. shocks and they work great together and on the hatch I have Progress springs with the shocks... Couldn't ask for a better ride... They work well at the track too.... Lighten the front and stiff'n the back and you'll get less weight transfer... Hope this helps a little...

By the way the 99 Siis for sale... Any ???'s just contact me... Gary

 

so whats the deal with the tokico blue setup ??? i have it on my car and i havent had problems .. or are you sayin simply that there are way better setups ?? if im goin to upgrade the suspension then do i got with the illuminas or should i go with a different ??

 

ok well then the question is koni yellows or tokico illuminas?

 

I have koni yellow neuspeed editions and they are amazing, I heard the illuminas and agx's tend to blow out with lower setups (i.e. - lower than prokits) and the yellows have height adjustablility built in! what more can you ask for in a strut? The only problem is they are a bit pricey compared to the illuminas, but well worth the money.

 

so whats the price on them ????

 

around $545 at tornactive.com

with H&R race springs, go with Koni yellow's, thats what a friend of mine has, he use to have illuminas and he belived that his illuminas couldnt handle the springs, so he went w/ koni's and he love them
