Tokico Illumina shocks question
I have H&R OE springs, and I am looking to get new shocks. If i get Tokico Illumina shocks, will they lower my car more?

but they will affect greatly how your car handles! i have the same setup and can tell you it is great. make sure to get the illumina's because you will play with the different settings to learn which gives you the best handling.
as for me, i thought that stiffer may be better. but i took a lesson that i want to share. my rear is set a 2, the front is usually 1. this seems to offset the damn understeer effect of FWD. i used to change the front to 3 or 4 during twisties, but it seems the car can do just as well with 1. #2 setting was absolute crap for handling and ride balance. try 1(front) and 2(rear) when you get them and you should be very happy.
