stiffer rear will make the car oversteer a little more, which will balance out the car a little since we tend to understeer (especially the base models like mine)

honestly, i recommend just playing around with them a little until you find a setting that you like.

Ah, but I thought our back end loses control first usually, if I lose control, it's usually my back end doing something crazy because I pushed the car too hard. Guess I'll just set mine 3/5 anyway

.

But anyway, Andy's (blueprelude84?) is gonna be doing the shock/spring install for me one of these weekends, are any of the NJ luders up for going to autox in philly? I have to get back to scott on it

Soon me and andy will be doing a twin mugen kit photoshoot..

I just installed mine yesterday, have a few th ings to do with the rest of my 5 lug conversion before I lower the car back onto the ground tonight though.

I bought my set of illumina's used, and I'm not sure how to change the settings. I know that u can use a screw driver with the top but I dont know how to know what its currently at, etc...

I'll have to post a pic of it tonight to show what I have, bueacse I dont have numbers on top of my illuminas the way it shows on the thier website.

If i'm missing the adjusting piece does anyone know if tokico will sell me just that?

When my adjusting red plastic piece was broken, I called Tokico and they shipped 2 or 3 replacements out for me for free! This was 3yrs ago so they may charge a bit now. Great customer service, give them a ring and just tell them yours broke or fell off.

thanks for the tip.

i just called them up and the person who answered the phone didn't even ask me any questions other than for my address and they said they'd send me a set of em' for free.
