Tokico Illumina 5-way people come on in!

[Fast02]

I'm picking up a set of these in the morning. Right now I have the stock shocks/ struts with Eibach sportlines..man the ride is crazy harsh right now. What settings do you guys run? How much better will the ride be?

I love the ride of my 5-ways. I keep them on 5 in the front and 4 in the rear. If you put it on 5 in the rear then you will have your rear swinging out. 4 is perfect with my sway bars

 

[Fast02]

is 5 stiff or soft.

I keep them on the stiffest setting...front and rear...love the "tight" feeling...keep it there...you will get used to it...

I got 5 all the way around, absolutely love them. Found the best deal on them from ebay - brand new, never used for $400 to my door - this was about 2 years ago.

Does it bang when you hit bumps on 5? or is it tolerable.

On the Tokico Adjustables (3) is the setting that Tokico NON-adjustables run at. 1 and 2 are softer and 4 and 5 are harder. I put mine on 1 for Highway trips (good smooth ride) and put the fronts on 5 and the rears on 4 for when I run "The Tail of the Dragon". Normally they stay on 3 all the way around.

i have them set on 4 all the way around on my 91' 5.0 and that thing handles like crazy i love it

How hard is it to change the settings, do you have to pull the wheel and stuff or what? I'm guessing thats the least you would have to do to get to the shock/strut.

no..just lift the hood and change the little dial right on top of the strut...same with the shocks in the rear...takes about 30 seconds from start to finish..

 

[Black Stang 97]

is it 1 being the softest and 5 beeing the stiffest??

 

[Mossberg]

yep

 

[03ghoststang]

is it 1 being the softest and 5 beeing the stiffest??

yup yup

 

[Fast02]

does the car still bang or jar when you hit pot holes are does it just suck them up?

 

[98stangv8]

it bangs a little bit....but my tires are pretty big that they go over most pot holes without too many problems...
