I have been Illimunated!!!
Tokico Illumina shocks and 1.25" drop springs + daizen camber kit / bushings + daizen sway bar bushings have been ordered!!!
I will probably have them on early next week,... will report back the baddazzedness of my new handling!!

Illuminas are great for auto-X'ing and road racing due to adjustability and tunability....but if you don't know what you are doing, go with the blues.
Blues are excellent for street use and don't need tuning.- Drop in and instant "out of box" performance.
I run Illuminas in my track car and Blues on my street Lexus. You can't buy a better strut than the Blue for the money.

well for me, it's too late,... Illumina's are on the way. Hell, driving in innercity Houston is like auto cross racing.... so I probably made the right choice. I've had the adjustable Koni's before, and I liked those. Another advantage is my wheels are 8.5" wide with 225/40/18 series all the way around, so I notice better handlin' traits than the stock. So I'm thinkin', this is gonna be like riding on fly paper!

My God!!!! my car is supa dupa fly at this moment!!! The car looks as if it's sitting on the tires, no rubbing, and looks as aggressive as hell! Definate 5 thumbs up on looks! 
Handling,... can you say,...."RAILS" or "TIGHTROPE"... the combination of bushings / suspension pkg is awesome,.. I'm still in Austin, getting ready to go back to Houston,... ( just finished getting the car aligned ), so I will do some high speed handling testing on the way back ( within reason ).
It's a little bouncy,...but it follows the terrain flawlessly, and doesn't bottom out. It's a different feel than the stock suspension, but since the other aspects are so tight,... easy to overlook. It's not hard,... just more "solid" feeling.
Pics to come either when I get back or tomorrow.
Nazty - over and out!
If you're gonna upgrade the suspension,.. do it alllll the way!!
