Default want to see pics of tokico illumina setup

hi,
i'm calling out to those ppl w/ the tokico illumina setup. i'm picking up a set this week, but i probably won't do the install until spring. i'm interested in seeing how low the drop is on your cars. also what level do you set the shocks at?
so pix please!

wow that's a lot lower than i expected. i like it, but i probably have to seriously consider getting a camber kit at least for the rears to prevent butterflying.

I have it on mine. Check the gallery.

You need a camber kit for the front, not for the rear. My rear tires are still good. I have had to flip my fronts.

Good luck.

you actually need it front / rear.... it ate up my rears in a matter of a couple of months.... better safe than sorry and the cost of the camber kit is cheaper than the labor to retake apart your suspension twice plus tires.

I think it plays a lot too with what springs you're running. I've got Espelirs on mine and didn't expect such a low drop... I'll take a pic in a sec.

thx for the pics guys. keep it coming!
just go back from Queens. picked up the Tokico illumina set.
Thx SCTT

wow.. right now i'm looking into possibly changing the bushings b/c i'm hearing the creaking sound and it seems like i'll be needing to get the camber kit. ha. this suspension mod is getting more expensive than i thought. hopefully i won't be needing to replace both lower and upper bushings.
when i get it all done by spring i'm sure it'll be worth it..
