i have been browsing the web and looking at shocks and springs. i found one sight that sells coilovers. i guess they are made by tokico. they have illumina shocks and springs (never heard of them). are they any good. does anyone have them?

also another option i have been looking at is the 5 lug conversion. from what i understand you take the whole strut from the e36 with the hubs. and for the backs you need the z3 rear arms and whole brake assembly. and its all bolt on right? if i were to take this option couldn't i jsut get the hubs and get coilovers or whatever shocks and springs they sell for a e36 or will the set up be to different and mess everything up.

and the last option i have seen is the ground controlthat converts shocks to coilovers using a special fitting that fits over bilsteins and other shocks that makes it adjustable.

what do you guys think. i would prefer coilovers just cause they are adjustable and its better. i want to relatively keep it under 1000 bucks unless i convert to the 5lug. but no more than 1000 for springs and shocks. tell me your thoughts and what you think would be the best set up
