no prob man.

I just had a major suspension upgrade last couple months therefore I should know lil of something. I used to have the GC coilover kit + tokico Illuminas shocks. Somehow, when I reset the shock's damping, they seem to be defect and stuff. So I return the shocks and swaped the GC Coilover with Nopi and get this Tokico RAK501 complete coilover kit. They seem to handle quite well. I also purchased the ST Rear Swaybar, Neuspeed front Upper Strut bar, Specialty Product Company Front camber kit (0-3") Ball joint adjustable (better than Ingalls)+ the DIY rear bolt/washer camber. They costed me quit a lot but the ride handle more than expected. I slamed my car couple times (2.25" drop) but so far, didn't seem to have any problem yet.

BTW, about welding coilover sleeves on shocks is pretty much these real true coilover kit are about. They're permanently welded on the shock's body assembly.

oh yea, one notice, you should have specified whether you car have ABS or not so that they'll get the right model. With ABS, they have the bolt position for ABS line and Brake line on the struts' assembly.

 

i think it does. does it?
because the other day i was hauling ass and i had the brakes pressed as far as they could go because i needed to slow down pretty fast and it was slowing down but they didn't lock up

but after i was stopped and i took off they were stuck for a second like i was staging and then took off for a race, they skidded and stuff

do i have ABS
what a pathetic question

 

I don't know much about the SE model, but my guess is that they come with ABS. Just look under the hood to see if you have an small rectagular ABS box or look at your dash, see if they have the ABS light position above your Gas-meter about side by side with those Engine Check, Brake, Oil lights.

 

You also got them used and they came without a bunch of hardware you needed.

Just messing, still a great deal.

 

I just bought some Illuminas for my 00 AV6 CPE, which cost me $405 shipped. It includes the full warranty directly through Tokico with valiad invoice. Fast shipping. I don't trust JDMWERKS selling on E-bay. I decided to pay the $15 dollars more for piece of mind. I don't know how long JDMwerks is going to be around and try to e-mail him asking for a real Phone #; he won't do it.

If you want some Illuminas Contact Matt at Banks Performance down in FL. Their number is (813) 787-9527

Ask Matt for a quote on your application and say Brian Lam, me, referred you. You should get the same price shipping anywherei n the lower USA.

good luck.

 

You could also do Coximports.com Their Illuminas are $435 shipped. In addition you get the piece of mind by knowing that they would help if there were problems, as well as provide the bonified warranty from Tokkico.

 

coximports.com doesn't have illumina coilovers for my application, nor do they have a warranty

 

That's why you should have said to begin with that you are looking for the full coilover application that Tokico makes (which happens to use the illumina shocks). That's why everyone here is talking about how much the shocks are, where to buy them, etc. Tokico sells the Illumina shocks by themselves, I think that's what everyone is thinking your asking.

Just trying to help, not trying to be a jerk.

 

its cool
i am looking for the coilovers though
thanks for your input nonetheless

 

$750-860 is going rate on tokico illuminas.
