suspension questions

ill be getting tokico illuminas all around and eibach pro kit lowering springs (.8).

i heard somewhere that the adjustable illuminas will only work in the rear if u take out ur speakers. is that true? and if i can still retain my speakers, how do u adjust the shocks?

if they're anything like the kyb agx's, there's a *** with numbers on it facing the center of the car near the bottom of the shocks. I have to lay down and get my arm under there to adjust them.

Midnight 7 - Just take a look on their website. If the adjustment is at the top of the shock, then yes, you do have to remove your speakers. If it's like the KYBs and on the side, then no, you don't.

Yes with tokicos you need to remove your speakers to adjust them. I had planned on using them and moved my rear speakers into a second location on the doors, but then the store I planned on buying from discontinued their supply . I just ended up paying $20 more for KYB agx's. Good luck with your set-up
