nothing very good. I sell it too if you want it. Spring rates are unknown. Tokico springs have brought me nothing but trouble, and the shocks aren't exactly the worst, but also not nearly as good as you could do.

The tokiko illumina package worked great on my Integra but I would never buy that kit for my TA.

If they made front Illumina's I'd be more willing to use it. But they don't. And even then, more willing doesn't equal a big desire.

I've used Tokicos on my old SHO (NOT the illuminas!) as have countless other SHO enthusiasts, as a budget alternative to Koni. I can't tell you about fbody applications, but I can tell you an analogy of ==> fbody {Bilstein to Koni} was like SHO {Tokico to Koni}. As Sam said there are more wise options out there and I definately concur.
