Installed some 5 way Tokico Illuminas

Yup, got them in the mail on friday, and installed them on saturday.
They are definatly not as harsh as the SN95 struts I had, but they handle the car much better. On a rough surface, my SN95 struts would let the car jump to the ourside of the corner. They were just to rough, and didn't allow the proper compression and rebound which made it skitter across the road. Now, with the Tokico Illuminas, it really bites down, and hugs the road. They allow a little more body roll (I havn't tried the firmest setting much yet), but they really make the front end stick to the ground. I have enough traction up front now, that oversteer is creeping up on me.

I to had the same problem with the stiff hard hit ride. I changed to 5 lug pro stars and used the struts and shocks off my old 5.0. After the change i noticed it hit very hard and jumped all over the road. So after about a month i said," this is it time for a change". Im the drag type guy and wanted drag shocks and struts so here comes 90/10s and 50/50s. After the swap no more jumping and hard hiting, yet not the factory ride it still rides alot better then the factory 5.0 struts and shocks. As well i did my swap this weekend to. Glad im not the only one with this problem.

136.33/each with free shipping. that is actaully an awsome deal. I found them from www.driverfx.com for 150, then 10% off that, and they have free shipping. compare that to maximum motorsports price of 164/each plus shipping. I probably saved 80 from that price, and MM is well below suggested retail
