in about two months - you will feel your car bouncing more - the bounce will be more than when you had the stock springs in.
This is not safe -
Believe me - I put in eibachs in mid june by early sept I could not stand the way the TL was handling. Slapped on Tokiko Illuminas three weeks ago - very nice handling. I have shocks set at "3".
got the Illuminas for $135 each and install cost $380. My regret was letting a shop (which I wont go to anymore) put on the springs and believing the B.S. about not being able to get the shocks. Dude - get you new shocks in quick - you'll love the way you TL handles...

Aki.....you paid 380 for the install? Sorry to say but you got ripped off! Should pay anymore than 100-150 for that install, where did you get it done?

dude - that was the lowest (with quality) I could find down here in SiliconValley
the shop I bought the Illuminas was going to charge me $500 - some bullsh!t that was going take 5hours to do.
and the shop I bought the my wheels was going to charge $400. This place called Japanese Beetle was charging $300 but the guy did not sound like they cared about their work - So I settled for a place with a guy who was helpful and knew what he was doing. He gave me a discount ($120) for $380.
I guess it really depends on where you live. It Labor cost sucks over here.....
