Ok....just got my new illuminas installed took it for a ride on 5 all around, and I can't really tell the difference about how it rides. Seems juss as same as my stock. How stiff of a ride is the ride on 5 for you guys.
 
On stock springs they will not feel too much different than on stock shocks you should look into getting a spring/coilover sleeve type setup for what you want out of your car. But if you cannot feel a difference between 1 and 5 setting then there is something wrong.
 
naw i got intrax lowering, and i've never set it on 1. I was saying I can't tell diff b/t the stock shock ride feeling and the tokico.
 
I just know the illuminas were a significant improvement over the blown stockers that were on my car when I got it. Other than that I don't know.
 
i just recently got the same set of shocks but i also put on and eibach pro kit at the same time and the difference was definatley noticable. I have my fronts set at 2 and my rears set at 3. IF i set them both at five then the ride is almost too stiff.]
 
How much drop does the eibach pro kit give you and how much did you get it for and where you did you get it.
 
the drop is about 1.5 inches. It doesnt make your car looked slammed but its also nice cause you can still drive everware and not deal with scraping shit. i think i got the springs for about $240 or so. I live in wisconsin and have a good hook up through a local parts dealer called Wilde honda.
 
I think pro-kits are a 1.3" drop and the sportlines are 1.7" or vice versa. I've heard that Intrax springs are softer than the pro-kits, so that could be your problem. You could also not notice a difference if your shocks were in new condition to begin with. You won't notice the real difference until you attack the windy roads :D
