Illumina "Race" strut insert

Hey guys,

Having some trouble finding the part number for the 85-86.5 Toyota MR2 rear Illumina insert. Anyone recall that part number? Also, if anyone knows of a source for these (they seem to be discontinued) that would be a great help. Thanks!

I miss Respeed...

Would the KONIs work as well?

Well, probably even better than the Illuminas. Problem is, I've still got one good Illumina and I'd rather not replace both front struts if I don't have to at this point.

Thanks Tim!

You should probably replace both otherwise they will still end up unmatched (if you can find a new or NOS one that is).

Do you have the rear Illumina's as well? A car with full Illumina's would be extremely rare nowadays. My buddy got one of the last sets a few years back and I bought his Blue's, wish I would have just ponied up and bought Illumina's like he did...

I have a set of short Bilsteins on the rear. I may have found a set of Illuminas. If they actually show up, I'll post the source and let you guys have at whatever they may have left.
