Ok. I got the tokico illumina shock/spring package ....... Finally.
Drop looks nice .... the car seems to be abouty an Inch lower in the front thoughy or an Inch higher in the rear ........LOL . But thats ok. I just got the lip mounted it(looks so nice now they need to make one for the rear ) and now I got like a 2 Inch clearance in the front .....No good. So what can I do . ( I know .....But I'm not taking the lip off ) Get coilovers ? I 'm guessing I'm gonna need something adjustable but I want to keep the shocks and just dont know what coilovers will fit the Illumina's ? Or maybe a I can just get some helper springs ? That will give it a little lift I'm assuming and also give me a smoother ride !

Guys your input is very appreciated so please post.
Thanks for space

Well, there are the Ground Control Coilovers... They are a fully height adjustable spring-perch setup... I don't have them but I do know people that have them and love them... you can also search around the forums here.. There are lots of people here that have them also! Just make sure if you do get those ones that you specify that you need them for TOKICO shocks! They don't make a universal set, they make different versions for Tokico, KYB, etc... There are also Skunk2 Coilovers... Haven't heard much on those, but they are about $100 cheaper than the Ground Controls... Up to you to look around! :thumb:
 
The simple solution would be to swap out the Tokico springs for a set of Eibach Prokits, which have less of a drop (~1.25" or so). You could probably sell those Tokico springs and get enough money to pick up the Prokits straight up, or maybe even find someone willing to trade you.
 
The eiback coilovers were an option till i found out price ...........
The skunks I'm not sure if they will be compatible with the illuminas.....
And the prokits are the cheapest option I just need to really look into the specs of the drop......

Thanks guys and keep it coming
