I have blues on now. I want to get another 7 for a DD and want to know which is softer.

Also has/does anyone run aftermarket springs with stock replacement shocks?

And anysuggestions as to a good DD setup

It's been well know that I've "bastardized" my 7, no suit required.

So the illuminas have how many settings?

On 1, the settings were VERY soft. I liked them.

I ran 3 in the front and 2 in the back. But that was just my preferences.

If you want softer, go back to the oem springs, they make the biggeat difference in how firm the ride is. Then you can adjust the Illuminas to your liking.

I have Illuminas and the KYB AGX's on 2 different cars and both have aftermarket springs. Neither set up can be adjusted soft enough to ride like the oem springs and struts..
