Its better to also ask what springs that were riding on too.

I got Illumina's with Skunk2 Integra rate.

I had 4 Front, and 5 back for about 2 weeks till it really fucked with my back (stock seats suck).

Now im 3 in front 2 in back.

I have the settings on 3 for the front and 3 in the rear. To me this handles more neutral, i had 3 in the front and 4 rear but i didn't like it.

oh, and yes 5 is the stiffest.

On the street 1/1 for comfort.

At the track start at 3/3 and adjust for track conditions and surface.

illuminia's SUKKKK!!!!!

I had them all tha way around.. Blew out tha fronts in like 8/9 months, tha rears lasted like 14/15 months.... Crappy shocks - they were always set on 5, stiff as possible... great if u like tha feeling of a skool bus. - KYB AGX'z are better shocks for ride/comfort + they are 8way adjustable....

I spoke to a Tokico rep.. he said that there shocks werent designed for anymore than a 1.5" drop... -- what tha hell am i goin to do w/ a 1.5" drop!!?! - there is still a wheel gap...

ahh to each his own...
im letting u know from exp.. if your rideing on anything more than a 1.5" drop.. i wouldnt mess w/ them.

Just to let you know, KYB AGX"s are not under warrenty once you drop them past 1.5". Sorry bud you lose there.

Tokicos though, will still cover you unless you have a dumbass drop on your car. Mine have been fine for quite a long time and I wouldnt of gone anywhere else. If i have a problem with them...I just send them back for a free warrenty replacement!

/yourself

And to answer the thread:

I ride with 2 front/3 rear on street. Drag will be 5 on back and 3-4 on front.
Spring rates: 450F/350R
