These are probably good to half-inch (sorry). The first two are the rear and the last two are the fronts. Is this typical? As far as I know everything is stock (but almost 30 years old!!).

Just wondering if tokico illuminas (or other brand dampers for that matter) are valved differently for different ends of the stroke i.e.; mine is set as low as i could without upsetting geometryor bottoming , but rides like a bag of ****, its quite unsettling. Maxing out the damper settings on the illuminas seemed to help a bit, but not enough. Im wondering if the dampers work better when the car isnt as low before i get out there and raise it up. Im running 275lb/150lb springs. Feels like it needs a ton more rebound damping which just isnt there with the illuminas.
