With flathead screwdriver. There is an adjustment dial at the top of the strut rod. |

Most people have the KYB GR2. I'm planning on dropping my Max with Eibachs and Illuminas. After I saw 2k2whitemaxi's dropped max with them i really liked them.
BTW, how do you adjust the Illuminas?

If I could do it again....
Illuminas & Progress currently.
If I could do it again - I'd go with TEINs and Illuminas.
The drop is SIMPLY PERFECT!
The illuminas are totally AWESOME! The only real complaint I have with the progress springs is that they are not even front to back....just a tad higher in the front.
NOt sure how the handling compares with other springs.
I'm on 4fr/5r now, and damn it handles NICE!
Paid about $600 for the pkg, not including install.

Wait, you'd swap to Tein because the Progress isn't even enough? That's strange - according to many Tein mesurements I've seen they're not even either (.5" lower in the front.) On Progress I'm 1/4" higher up front. Hardly visible IMHO. Also, the closest to even drop I've seen. |

Ok, you're Right -- but to me, it's still visible, and I'd PREFER to have it lower in the front if I had my choice.
Can't remember if you're on stock struts or not -- curious to hear YOUR impressions if you're on the Illuminas?!
