For my 04 TL HP shocks, you mention that I will need a washer to go in between the rear hub and the lower shock bushing. Can you provide more detail information or pictures about where I need to use the washer?
Thanks !!

Its been found that you don't need the m12 washers. They just fit rite in. Others (including me) have installed it and didn't find the need for washers.

Just slip them in and you are good to go.

Ok, can someone confirm if Illuminas have a setting that match the ride quality of the Blues or better? or do the illuminas start of harsher and just get more harsh as you adjust the dial?

Yes you can. No you don't need the washers. I originally had thought you did but I was incorrect.

Even on the softest setting they will still be a little firmer than the factory setup. They are just valved more aggressively than the OE shocks.

Thanks, so safe to say the softest setting on the Illuminas ride about the same as the Blues or are the Blues softer?

Sorry for the questions, getting close to making a decision here

I just got these (Illumina's) installed this past weekend. They're great. In combination with H&R sport springs the car feels like a totally different car. I have mine on 3 all around, haven't messed with any other settings yet though. Thanks Excelerate for the great prices and quick shipping.

The Blues are about midway on the Illuminas.

They will work; I'd prefer the KONI Yellows for the Sportlines but the HP's will do the job.

TOKICO is backordered with no ETA so I would suggest KONI. Either way I would suggest KONI. It's a better product, it offers damping adjustment and it's on sale.
