Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I received prompt delivery of the Tokico Illumina struts from this vendor and had them installed on my IS300 (front and rear) along with new strut mounts (not included with struts). The suspension upgrade retained the stock springs and after-market sway bars and the struts were set to adjustment setting #3. The tires were
rotated after the installation.
On the drive home, I noticed a tighter, more precise feeling in the ride and steering. There
seem to be a tiny bit more oversteer compared to pre-installation setup (stock struts and non-
rotated tires).
After the next days drive to and from work, I decided that the steering felt a slight bit edgy
for everyday driving; so I adjusted the front struts down one position from #3 to #2.
Driving to work the next day, the adjustment seemed to have the desired effect; less edginess
in steering and a smoother feeling ride. Over the next couple days, I try a couple hard turns
and quick transitions. The car felt very stable and applying throttle in turns produced the
expected results (no surprises). I'm thinking about resetting the front struts back to the #3
position for further tuning evaluation due to the rotated tires 'settling in'.
