Tokico Adjustables
Contacted Tokico about the availability of the Illuminas for the tC and this was the responce.
"...Hi Kevin,
Thank you for contacting Tokico Performance Shocks. Instead of the 5 way adjustable illuminas, we're actually in the process of developing the HTS adjustables, which has a much wider range of adjustability (7 1/2 full rotations). The HTS is our premium shock absorber. Unfortunately, they will not be available until late this year, or early 09. If you can hold off, they'll be worth the wait. As far as location, once we provide the part numbers on our website, just pop it into google and you'll find someone who will carry them. If it's difficult to locate, just give me a call and I'd be happy to help out.
Thanks,
David..."
I cant wait.... :D

I really wanted to illumina as i have used them before and know what they can do so i wasnt too happy to find out that they werent available for the tC.
I dont trust the "Cut you strut in half" installation method for the Koni's so i am really looking forward for these Tokicos to come out.

I heard from Tokico and they are now saying that it will be around Mid 09.
From Email
"....Hey Kevin,
Thanks for your patience. I was really hoping to have them by now, but honestly, there's no way we'll have it developed and shipped here by Feb. I understand this comes as really bad news for you for the upcoming autocross season. If you have to go with another set I, I will completely understand. But if you can hold off until we get them in (mid-09), I'll hook you up with a discount to make your wait worth while.
As far as the drop, the shocks can take up to a 2 inch drop with no problem. Most likely, on a car like the TC, you'll have a bump stop or tire rub issue before you have a shock issue......

I am going to have to go with coilovers because i need to upgrade before autocross season starts
