You all remember when I got my tokico illumina R's right? It was only 3-4 months ago.
Well...today the front passenger blew... I had them set on 3.5 setting so it wasnt too soft and I kept the spring height at 1.5" drop...so neither was too much for a shock like that to handle...however...it blew

Since tokico offeres no warranty on this particular shock (because its competition (actually designed for auto-x)) I'm screwed. I called today and complained (I had called earlier as well to complain about the adjusting nuts that rusted, but again no help). They simply said "No warranty".

Honestly, if this shock is truely designed for auto-x, wouldnt it be a hell of a lot more stable for normal street driving? I dont even drive everyday, more like 3 times per week on decent roads.

I REALLY ADVISE EVERYONE NOT TO BUY THESE PIECES OF CRAP. ANY shock that only lasts 3-4 months isnt worth ANYONE'S time or money.

So now I gotta get new shocks and new springs...I'm thinking Koni Reds and either Tein s-tech, Eibach pro-kit, or some kind of HR springs...what do you people think? (Answer in the poll)

Anyone use the Koni Reds? Tell me what you guys are using (no im not getting ground conrols and I dont think I need the adjustability of the yellows)
