Tokico Illumina adjustment?

[timscott61495]

Hello, I bought a 96 eclipse gst about 5 months ago, and the guy I bought it from has Tokico Illuminas on it. The problem is I'm pretty sure he has the stiffness jacked all the way up and I don't know how to adjust them. The adjustment knobs on mine seem completely different from other ones, like I'm missing a part of them or something. The first two pictures are what the knobs look like on my car, and the last picture is one I found online of what they're supposed to look like. Mine have no spot to adjust them with a screw driver. I was just wondering if anyone knew how I could possibly adjust them, or if I need to buy something to put on there so I can.

You are missing the adjustment knob completely on one of them and missing half of the other one. Their website says to contact them directly if you are missing any components.

Your tops don't look like mine. There should be a part number on the shock. Get that and give them a call and see what tokico says. Might be an older style but idk if they ever switched up adjustment nob

If you don't mind the way they look, look at the pictures with the covers for orientation and just use a needle nose set of pliers. Easy. I did that once when I lost the adjuster. I'm pretty sure you can't go from 5 to 1 so you should be able to orient yourself by turning all the way in one direction.

The last one has that inner plastic piece used to adjust the struts. You can take that piece out and adjust all of them, but you will want to purchase a replacement set.

The plastic piece is just the cap with the numbers, it doesn't connect to anything, just sits on top.
