Tokico Illuminas w/ Eibach Pro Kit- Pics??

[SirDaft1]

I've got uninstalled Eibach Pro Kit springs and may have found a full set of Tokico Illuminas for my P5. Does anyone have pics of this suspension setup combo on a P5?

Also if I get these, is there anything else I'll need to do for the install? (ie: new sway bar links)
thanks.

Pro Kit + Tokicos. Usually have to get new end links.

PERFECT. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks cbrcrx

That looks really good. Im still lost if I want to lower it. If I do I only want 3/4"

You'll NEED a Progress rear sway. It's impossible to do the springs/struts without. I promise.

Is this in response to my original post? If so, are you saying this as a recommendation or as a fact (ie: it physically cannot be installed w/o a progress rear sway bar)?

Just kidding, you don't need it to do the suspension, but you do NEED it. It's an awesome upgrade.

Ok thats how I took it lol... I've been trying to source a gently used rear sway bar (progress preferably) for a few weeks but I haven't had much luck. I most likely wont install the suspension until spring next yr, so hopefully a rsb pops up before then.

Why not put on the Racing Beat Rear Sway...I love mine...and it is very cheap...Progress can't be that much better...

what size is the RB rear sway bar?

Progress is 24mm, no knock, no clunk, perfect amount of stiffness.

I have no knock or clunk with the MSP rear sway...

Doesn't that require different endlinks/gear? ^

 

[ScratchNSniff]

There is a clunk fix bracket, but not everyone has that problem...

I just have it hooked up with the Energy Suspension bushings, MSP brackets, and MSP Endlinks...you do not want to leave the stock enlinks on or there is a chance the bar can flip over...which happened to me...

Yeah, something to consider when buying. Progress doesn't have those issues, or need new attachment gear.

What's the MSP bar diameter? Just curious.

You will want to go lower, trust me. I'm on the MSP suspension which lowers .75" or so all around and it is hardly a difference. If you are on the factory 16's you will not tell much difference and you will want more. Get the Eibach Prokit for a bigger drop but not slammed.

Honestly not completely possitive...I am thinking 21mm though, but I know it is a bit smaller than the Progress...

 

[ucMP3]

I believe the MSP rear is only 19mm... My head isn't thinking to clearly today tho, lol.

 

[Psylence]

If I understand correctly, this says the msp RSB is 20mm.

Eventually, I'll do this. I don't care one bit about looks, just performance. I like the suspension travel of the stock setup, and being able to hit speed humps (not parking lot bumps) at full speed, I just wish the springs were stiffer. Could you do this on Eibachs?
