Tokico Illumina Advanced Handling Kit vs. Koni Handling kit

MiRSO · 04-03-2005

I was wondering if anyone would be able to give me thier opinion on what suspenion kit to go with. I don't want to go with Eibach because I've heard problems with sagging even when replacing spring isolators. I only want to drop my car 1.5". If anyone could help I'd appriciate it.

Thanks,
MiRSO

yesterday when i went to get my C/C plates installed, i was talking to the owner of the shop (http://www.x-m-p.com/) and he was saying that he stopped selling Tokico because there were too many problems...said that they have horrible customer service and there are some fitment and quality issues.....so he recommends either Koni, but he said Bilsteins are the best....i have the H&R SS springs and u can match those or a set of H&R Sports to a set of Bilsteins....check out http://maximummotorsports.com/

Thanks for the advise to both of you. I was wondering if you think the H&R Cup kits are worth the money and would they be advisable for daily driving.

If you want to go with H&R's go with the sports or the supersports.
You would probaly be better off with the sports instead.

What's wrong with the Eibach's? I have them and I have had no issues with them...?

i've heard that eibachs are pretty good, but spazzyfry123, how long have u had your eibach's?? didnt u just get them....also, when i called all the mustang shops in my area and asked which they would choose, either the eibachs or the H&R's, they all voted for the H&R's.....said that they were a lot better quality spring and have great products in general.....

MiRSO, i would recommend the H&R sports for you...the SS have a bigger than expected drop in the front and i had to get the C/C plates......also, do u have any soundclips of your ride....i want to get either the Bassani or Magnaflow X

I've had no quality-related issues w/my Bilsteins but, as installed in the Kenny Brown AGS (Advanced Geometry Suspension) kit, the ride is bit stiffer than I'd like.
