Which settings for Tokico Illuminas with H&R springs

Hey Guys,

I have tokico Illumina shocks with H&R springs, which settings am I supposed to use with the springs, I can't seem to find a good combination. Should I remove the tokicos and install the Factory R1 shocks? Any opnions would be great. Thanks.

Ed

Set it to whatever you feel like. I have those with my Eibachs. 1 would be softer than stock, 3 ~stock level, and 5 would be stiffer

I have the Tokicos with Racing Beat springs, and for daily driving I have the fronts set at 1 (softest) and the rear at 2. For any kind of track driving I set front and rear at 5 (stiffest)

Keep playing with the settings until you find something you like.

good luck

Any ideas on settings with stock springs? I just posted a note in the 3rd Gen forum on this as well. Is the rule of thumb that 3 is near the stock damper force settings?
