Tokico Illuminas 5-way adjustable strut cartridges
 |
---|
These struts are totally awesome.
The ability these shocks have to alter the vehicles handling ability is remarkable. And my set has a
lot of mileage, maybe 20-25k, and yet they feel just like they did when I got the car on the road for
the first time last summer.For racing, Mo Moscovitz
sets his to a level 3 in the front, and a level 5 in the rear, while I prefer a level 5 in the front,
and level 4 in the rear. So you can see that it is very much user preferenced! I believe that a stiff
front end reduces oversteer while Mo insists that a stiff rear end will reduce oversteer. He might be
correct, and while autocrossing, I observe less oversteer with the front end stiffer than the rear.
Here's the catch about these beauties: I bought my car with a blown engine for $350, and it was
equipped with a set of Illuminas, and I did not realize it until I got the car back on the road 6
months later. Thinking back, this humors me greatly. And more so, humors my autocrossing frenzy
friend, Bryan Heitkotter. So, as Bryan put
it, I paid $350 for a used set of Tokico Illuminas, and got a MK1 for free!b a c k |
