Tokico Illuminas
 
Anyone use these? I have a 97 Maxima SE with 134K on OEM suspension and I'm due for a change. Not sure I need the adjustability but I heard they provide a great ride.

I had them once. They're definitely better than KYB GR2's, but not as good as KYB AGX's or Konis or Bilsteins in my opinion. Also, if you don't need the adjustability, then you could get the Tokico HP for less money (they are equivalent to the middle stiffness setting on the Illuminas, and they are blue unlike the Illuminas which are white)

^ agreed

i've had the HPs and AGX's

Should I replace the mounts and bearings as well?

I would replace the bearings, they're cheap anyway. But the mounts don't need to be replaced unless you see tears in the rubber.

Yep it's a keeper. It's paid for and a nice daily driver. I plan on giving to my son in 4 years when he turns 16.
It would be cool for him, I bought the car a month after he was born.
