#11020, "Tokico Illumina Strut Question"


          

I've read a few guys have these and like them. My question is can you really tell a differance when you adjust the settings on them? I just ordered a set from Howell and will have them on this weekend. I don't know allot about shocks and have never had adjustables before so any input will be helpful.

Thanks,
Allen

i have the illuminas and when i adjust them, you can tell a difference. i noticed slightly quicker turning at higher levels and am very pleased with them. i usually keep mine set at 2-3 in the front and 4-5 in the rear. for the strip, i have it at 1-2 in the front and 5 in the rear. just thought id throw that in.

I have these struts and I can tell a difference. One setting 1 it is a caddilac like ride. On 3 its close to stock. 5 is really stiff. I leave mine on 5 because I have wheel rub every so often.

I have mine set on 3 in the front and 4 or 5 in the back. After changing it a couple times I found that to be the best setting for me. Don't set it to 1 on front and rear, it's not a very nice ride emoji
