Tokico Illuminas/GC setup? - Honda Prelude Forum

What do you guys think of Tokico Illuminas with Ground Control Coilovers? My car is used for 100% street right now, but I may use it for AutoCross in the future.

I have this setup now and it's pretty good....

Sweet. I had read somewhere that the Koni's just have a little knob that says "Firm" where as the Tokicos have actual numbers. I also read that there is a very small difference between the two and that you can only tell if you run the hell out of them constantly.

I have them as well, just haven't installed them yet. Koni's are nice too as they are ride height adjustable.

yes, koni's are infinitly adjustable

i have never tried tokicos but why not go with the proven brand? and you can always upgrade the koni's to a phenominal grade.

Tokico isn't a proven brand?

^well i'm not saying it like that. but koni's are definatly have better support and while you might not notice the difference driving around. if you look at the shock dynos of the two options, well koni's take over.

you can also get konis for cheap (honda marketplace) brand new. is it that much more expensive to get konis? not really.

IMO, for any competition use, get something that you can eventually have built to your specs. That would be Koni.

I have the same setup. Iv put about 40k on them and the struts are all pritty much blown now, Im looking into a full coilover now (teins) but while they lasted the were nice.
