Koni Yellow.

I've used the Tokico Illuminas. Konis are better.

i was thinking of getting these too-- whats your reason specifically for them being not so great?


back on topic....

the other choice I recommend are the KYB AGX based soley from the other forums (dsmtuner.com, etc) where other users had only good comments about them.

i got KYB AXGs and Eibach springs, good combo in my oppinion.   the shocks can be REALLY STIFF or REALLY smooth they got a huge range, but its pretty bumpy if they are set at "8", but i got my AXG's off ebay for like 309 USD like 413.xx canadian

i have the tokicos with eibach springs, and my ride is really really rough/bumpy/rigid.  everytime i drive over a crack/bump/pothole it feels like something is going to break off, it feels like i dont' even have shocks

I have the AGX's w/ DSS coilovers and I don't think I'd buy AGX's again. Really bad combo. I'm always bottoming out it seems, even when I'm no where near as lowered as some of the guy's on the board. I heard that the AGX's emulate stock range, which just diff stiffness settings, so they're not that great for lowering. I could be wrong though. :shock:

I had set of Konis Yellow and Eibach on my AWD, it was great, handled nice didn't bottom out and was good on bumpy roads.

yep! they are nice for controlling roll in corners...

kinda rough on bumpy roads now with 40 series tires though...
