Tokico Illuminas

Are these the ones that everyone was talking/complimenting about?

http://www.nopionline.com/nopistore/...RA%20TL%202000

And i was juss wondering, i see that they are called Adjustable Coilovers. Arent coilovers adjustable to begin with? Why add the Adjustable part... neways, Why would the front and rear tokico illuminas be a total of like no more than 400 and the tein ss coilovers like 1000? because my mom taught me that cheap stuff is no good.. lol if soemone can be juss clarify this for me. i will leave ya all alone after these questions

i dont think u r geting ripped. as a matter of fact.. that seems to be a good price for the tein ss with installation. but im juss saying.. why the big price range diff.. makes me thinks twice about purchasing the tokicos.

P.S: this is not advertising for nopi im juss simply trying to show ya and make sure thas the right shock/struts.

I think the Teins come with the springs and the Tokicos dont. And the warranty on the teins i believe is lifetime while Tokicos is a year?? Someone correct me if I am wrong. $1000 Installed is a good price with what I priced out.

tokico shocks aren't that gd, they tend to blow since our car is too heavy

koni yellow and real coilovers are way to go

I have them, been about a year..no problems at all. But they aren't coilovers, they're just shocks/struts. So when you add in the price of springs you have more like $600. Since they also aren't height adjustable, you should compare them to the Tein BASIC setup and not the Tein SS setup.
