Definitely.

Yup, I agree, both are great quality springs. You can also check out Swift's offerings.

Re: Ground Control coil overs...

I'd skip the Tokico's. When I spoke with the person at Ground Control about doing my car they were telling me that those shocks (on a 2g t/e) top out at about 325-375 spring rates. The stock springs are only roughly 245front and 150rear. H&R race springs are 430 front and 260 rear which means your front shocks will be over run on the Tokicos. They ride decent but not great for a performance aspect.


I'd go KONI or Bilstien. Good luck.

Re: Ground Control coil overs...

I have the Tokico Illumina's with the matching Tokico springs on both my GSX and my Mustang. Only complaint I have is the rear on my mustang is still pretty high. However, I would buy the matched set again any day. They work quite well together.
