um yeah there adjustable but they're not made for coilovers. unless u want to cut off the welded perch. which i don't recommend.



^ when i attempted to install my skunk2's with illuminas.



^ the aftermath. the welded perch on the illuminas was placed way to high for the coilovers. note that it was raised an inch above stock height.

Koni Yellows (sports), and Kyb Gr2 are the only shocks/struts i know would work with coilovers.

i always thought illuminas were good.

koni's are about the best strut for our car anyway. tirerack has them for 139 each. they don't get much cheaper than 133 and i've seen them as high as 250. this is a peice btw. the koni yellows (sports) are 3 way adjustable. the lowest setting is about the same as stock softness.

illumina's are great, but you do have to cut the perch off of it. Why don't you recommend it??? Because it will void the warranty??? I talked to the Tokico rep at last year's Carlisle Import show and he said that any drop lower then 1.7" will void the warranty. I had to cut the perches off of my blues, and I haven't had any problems.

yes, besides it can be a real pain to cut the perch off.
