The tokiko Blue which i think are the HP are good springs but not adjustable, and the Illumina which i think are the Premium, are Adjustable, which are better. I for one dont give a crap for that so i went with the tokiko blues! and they ride great!

I had the adjustable's on my delsol, I hated them, if you want adjustable struts I would suggest Koni. I currently have the non adjustables on my RX7 and I'm really happy with how they perform for non adjustable struts.

hey, what are the advantages of adjustable shocks? do they just adjust the stiffness?

okay I have a few questions to add to this:

1) Why would you want adjustbale struts, is it so you can adjust your ride height without coilovers?

2) What are some good struts to get with Skunk 2 coilovers, nothing to expensive though.

Adjustable struts don't adjust your ride hight, they adjust the dampning of your struts. The advantage of this is that you can balance your suspension for better handling. The thing I really liked about the Koni's is I was able to dial in just a slight amount of oversteer on my delsol. Not so much that the ass end would come out and put me in a spin, but just enough to help the ass end rotate around the corner helping to prevent understeer. Its an amazing feeling when this happens.

I really like Koni adjustable's.
