Tokico Shock parts?

Hey guys...does anybody have any idea how I could get replacement parts for my Illuminas? I'm talking about the little red caps with the numbers (1-5) as well as the little plastic screws that you use to adjust the setting.

Any input is appreciated!

this is off topic and i wish i could help but i have a question.. did you notice a increase in handling and or body roll??

oh wait, i can help, i have an old set of illuminas that i bought with the springs as a combo but decided not to use them because they were old.... if it has the little red dial, i will tell you but it will have to wait till tommorrow...

It's difficult for me to say. I bought the car with the shocks already installed.

You are definitely NOT SOL. Call the nice folks at Tokico (800-548-2549), tell them what you need and they will send you, FREE OF CHARGE , a whole new set of caps and screwtops. These are the best folks I have ever worked with...no charge even for shipping, just a nice polite employee who asked "what else can I do for you sir." So despite 93BlackFD's response....you are not SOL. I wasn't.

BTW the Shock eyes (the rubber bushings on the front set and the most complained about part on the Illuminas) are replaceable with a standard size urethane replacement bushing----available at your local NAPA store or through any performance suspension replacement part store or internet site.

Jeff was totally right. I called them up at Tokico, and they took my address and shipped me a full set of new tops within a few days! Awesome customer service!
