Tokico Illumina question...

For those of you with the Tokico Illimuna shocks and struts, how do they adjust? Do both the front AND rear adjust from the top of the rod with a click from a screwdriver?

I would assume the fronts adjust like that, but the backs are adjustable by a **** on the side of the shock. I have no experience with these, but that seems to be how most rear shocks are adjusted..

No, they both adjust from the top. Cut a small hole in the carpet behind the seats, and you can access them from inside, fronts of course adjust above the strut mount.

HTH.

what spring rates did you get?

i would be hesatent to use them with really high rate springs, i don't think they have the rebound adjustment needed to work with really heavy springs.

The one plus, is as the rebound adjusts up, the bump adjusts down, so to get the rebound where you will need it, you won't have a tons of bump.

650 front/150 rear The car won't be used for any type of "road racing", just street and strip, but I wanted the ability to adjust the ride height as I desire. I went with a 9 inch spring in the rear also.
