Well by the grace of god i noticed my right front tire was worn in one spot past the threads to the point i could have stuck my finger into my tire.. So made a very slow trip to the tire store and he lifted it up, Discovered i am out of alignment and my right rear strut is blown, This will probably put a stop to my auto cross event next weekend. Bright side i tossed on a couple used 205/50/16's on the front an wow what a diff on cornering. Cant wait to get the 4th 17in wheel and new tires... and alignment and new strut...and complete new paint job in a week or two

Its like saying 'clip' around gun nuts, We all know what you mean but some people have urges to correct. I was just lolzing at his correction to you being incorrect. OUR. What suspensio are you autocrossing on? can;t be stock surely. most aftermarket stuff should be rebuildable

If you want to keep tems, "tokico illumina II" or OEM, are the only two choices.
Also when replacing the rears, the whole rear, inside of the car (from the rear seats to the trunk latch) need removal, not fun.

May pull off the SHOCKS off the 87 parts car i just got. Have not looked but maybe they were upgraded in the last 20 years

looking into tokico illumina II They have 5 settings i wonder if that could be changed inside the drivers compartment, so would be able to use all 5 settings not just 2
