Ive got the Tein SS coilovers that i am putting on within the next week or two (i have a 2002.5 MP5). I've read a lot about people replacing struts along with springs/coilovers. I was wondering what options were out there for me. Ive looked into the Tokico ILLumina or the Tokico HP series. Are there other ones around that people recommend? Or can i get away without replacing the struts for now all together?
Lastly, here are some prices ive seen for the the Tokico struts...are they about right? anyone seen any better prices?

Tein coilovers have both in one package...struts and springs all in one.
If you're getting Tein springs, then I'd go with Illuminas for 'em. HPs are nice, but the adjustability of the Illuminas makes them more desirable, for me at least.

coilovers+ 900 bucks
springs= 150 or so.

 

Excellent, thanks. It was a little unclear, and i havent even taken em out of the box yet, maybe that would have helped. And i def have the coilovers...or i got ripped off huge...thanks again though, makes things easier

 

Congrats! That's a prettyy nice set up.
