Tokico Illumina Struts
Let me just say these struts are AWESOME for there price...5 way adjustable that is a real adjustment that you can feel. I really like them, car is tight as hell with them. I have kyb gas-adjust on the back and well lets just say the back end of my car feels A LOT more loose then the front. I got these for $180 from a member on here and they were brand new. I think a whole set(shocks/struts) is around $400 so i did well. As another alternative to the top dogs - Bilsteins and Konis, these feel damn good for there price. A lot better then any stock stuff or KYB for sure. Just thought id share to others who are looking for a set of replacement struts/shocks soon.

Interesting, where do you get Tokico? These are middle of price range between KYB and Koni sorta thing?
Yeah they are somewhat in the middle, I got my full set F/R for like $400 + shipping off E-bay, there's a few Tokico retailers on there. They are 5 way adjustable. But not everyone likes them, people that get really technical with the tuning of their suspension do not like how the compression/rebound adjusts across the range. To each their own. While they do have a point, in my experiences with them I don't see a problem. But thats the thing with suspension tuning, everything is relative because not everyone runs the same exact combo of swaybars, springs, etc, etc.

and a lot of it is preference too...
I do need to get the rears if i can find anyone with them for sale, but im also keeping an eye out for a set of Koni yellows. KYBs dont cut it for the rear of my car anymore.
I love highway on and off ramps
