Fellow Illumina Owners step in

today i decided to play with my setting on my illuminas

i put the front all the way to 1 and the back on 2

and HOLY sh** the car feels ssooooo Neutral

before on my 3/3 setting i felt the back end was going to fishtail on me and on tight turns the back tires would screech

now i ahve a softer ride and AWESOME HANDLING... i always thought stiffer was better but i guess not

by the way im on Eibach springs and have otto FSTB and Progress RSB for added info

has your spring or strut bottomed out yet? I do sometimes, depending on the bump.

1 does ride nice, but I found it to be a little soft to control the Progress. Surprised you've had no bottoming issues. I have those from time to time even on 2/2. Guess I'm a bit lower.

i have mine set @ 4f/5r. it feels like im on a slalom sometimes dodging bumps & potholes but definitely worth it. i like feeling like my wheels are really planted on the road

1f/2r is a bit too soft for stock springs, but 2f/3r is almost perfect for most driving... car still feels "floaty" at high speed though. 4f/5r the "floatyness" is completely GONE.
