Shocks / Struts
My car is lowered (not sure how much), but they keeped the stock shocks/struts. It feels like it bottoms out everytime I hit a bump. Has anyone used the strange adjustable ones on a fox? Also looking into the tokico hp, are those any good? I'm looking for something desent and not to expensive.

Strange is pretty good, but most use them for drag oriented setups (like me). I think the tokiko will give you a better ride and handling. Yea it's pretty common for the ride to degrade with the stock shocks / struts on a lowered suspension.

i have the tokico HP's on mine, they are not adjustable like the illumina's... but are much better than OE parts and performed great at autoX, but if i had the money i would of ordered bilsteins... i got my hp's with a tokico kit that also included 1.5" lowering springs.

struts
For drag racing the strange's are hands down better. The tokiko or how ever you spell it lol!! the IIlimnia series are designed for lowered cars and they do not release as well at launch like the Strange's do
