Quick tociko question

Hey guys,

I'm just checking this website right now and they sell the tociko (don't even know if I'm spelling that right) ILLUMINA and PERFORMANCE. Price difference is like 12X.XX versus 8X.XX. Can someone please tell me the difference between the two?

You can adjust the stiffness on the Illuminas. Don't know about the Performance.

adjustability on the illumina's (5-way)
apparently the HP's are about a 2.5-3 ish setting on the adjustment scale on an illumina. if you drive your car hard, you could go for the illumina's, but if you just want something to match the springs without being OEM, buy the HP's (tokico's are known to get soft after a while though)

Haha see that's the thing I don't understand. I see people have the "blues" but on the website that I'm checking out, it shows both the illuminas and performance is both "blue" color. So I'm confused

Having had both HP (blue) and now Illumina (white) on my Cl-S it feels to me like the HPs are about 2/5 compared to the Illuminas. I'm running 4/5 front and back which is firm, but quite streetable w/ 235/45/17s.
