Tokico

so...between hp and illumina, if i just want a good ride with a drop of about 2 inches, not planning to race or track...will the tokico hp be good for me? or should i spend the extra hundred for the illuminas?

thanks.

I'd go with Illuminas personally...I see the HP's more suited for a milder drop..like 1.5

I've been on my HP for about 5 months now with a 2 inch drop and they ride fine

yea, the HP's (blues) would be fine for you if youre not lookin to track the car or anything for handling. the HP's would be perfect for a nice drop.

^^^ Word, the HP's (Blues) are just perfect, I have Neuspeed race and the ride so F****ing nice.

sorry, dont mean to jack your thread. i just wanna ask about HP. how about the handling?? i wanna consider HP for my shocks but i kinda doubt the performance...

tokico makes a great product, so im sure HP's handle very well. the illuminas on the other hand were made for you to fine tune them to how you want them to handle. if you want that, then get those. the HP's are an aftermarket performance shock, so theyre made to be good with drops and to handle well to a certain extent, if you want more then what the HP's offer, then you need to get the illuminas.

i had illuminas and skunk2 sleeves, and the adjustability was awesome. it suited me and my needs very well. im sure andyryck can have a better answer to the handling on the HP's since he has them.

The handling is good, I don't go to the track and I don't think you will so its no worthy to spend $100+ more when you can use the HP's and satisfy all your needs. I turned in angle of 90 degrees @ 40MPH the other day and she didn't go anywhere but where I wanted. I got surprised because I've never though I could do that with my heavy a$$ sedan. I used to go to school and put my books on the floor of the passenger side because they were falling everytime I turned (on stock suspension), now put then on the seat and they just move a little when I turn but dont fall... so is pretty go.
Even my GF told me she likes the car better now cuz when I turn she doesn't have to grab the seat or the door, she just stay still, plus you know sedan seats are pretty crappy they don't hold you as good as the coupe ones does.

thanks for the help. now whats some suggestions for the springs. i heard h&r is progressive and makes noise, does the neuspeed race springs make noise too?

i just purchased the HPs and went with the ebaich pro-kit springs...the ride is fantastic...now i can't wait till i slap on my 18" work emotion kai CR wheels (one of the rims has a curb mark on it...but ohhh well charge it to the game)
