Tokico Blue's = ok...not the best but for $260 its cool.
Tokico Illum's = good and smooth...
KYB AGX = garbage...bouncy
Koni Yellow = $BANK$ really nice shocks, stiff and adjustable, not bouncy!

tokiko blues = you may as well keep your stocks.
tokiko illuminas = decent, but you'd be better off spending the difference for Konis.
KYB agx = you'll be lucky to get 20k miles.
Konis = If you must, wait and save up. Quality is leaps and bounds above the rest.

How many of you who are rating all the shocks have owned them and tried them all?

I've had all except for the AGX's at one point or another, The AGX's went out on three different friends prematurely..This WAS when they first came out, so i'm not sure if it was due to some kinks in the manufacturing process that they were working out or what.
