What do you set your Tokico Illumina's at?

I just got these puppies thrown on, and I must say, this is the first time I've ever felt the whole car rebound at the same time! It's wonderful! They're set on 3 right now and feel great to me, so I haven't messed with them. I might go a little softer. These roads suck here.
But I'm no longer afraid to open this thing up! For some reason, it even looks like I'm getting better gas mileage. Can that be possible? I won't know until I run a tank through it, but the dash seems to be reporting better MPG.

Anyway, if you have them, what setting do you use? Just curious if there is a common preference.

That's cool. Maybe I won't mess with them then. They feel pretty damn good at 3.

Yeah, the roads are **** here, too. I may have to lighten them up a bit. If the roads weren't so crappy, it would be fine. Winter is pretty rough on them, and lowering a car here isn't a good idea if you ever have to drive it in snow. They're stock springs, but weren't the 87-89 turbo springs a bit stiffer?
