I have Tein Flex coilovers. One of my rear shocks is blown. I am planning on installing Tokico Illuminas on the back, however I want to take the springs from the coilovers and use them with the Tokicos. I've heard that its not recommended...I just would like to hear some opinions. Thanx.

 

i would not do that. i wouldnt take them apart. thats my opinion. a buddy of mine tried to talk me into that before. i really dont know why, but i would definately not do that.

 

has anyone here accually attmpted this??? im really tempted to try this...

 

You can't do that. Compare stock springs and tein springs and you will see why.

 

1. Tokico Illuminas suck.
2. Why replace a Tein setup with Tokico?

Just get a replacement.

 

yeah, i would but i bought the car with the Teins, and have no warrantee or nothing. Unless someone can suggest something else, i'll get the illuminas.

 

you cant remove the spring from a coilover and use it in a standard spring/strut application.

 

Umm....call up Tein and see if you can get a replacement damper? I'm sure it will cost less than the Illuminas and a set of springs.

 

Word. Use your head........
