Default koni yellows vs. tokico illumina's

I've done my research, and it has always come down to koni yellows or the illumina's,

are the yellows really worth the extra 100$ ??

I need input on people who have experienced both of them

btw: this is for my daily driven car (that I'll be dragging/auto-xing with)

thanks in advance

Tokicos are great shocks. I've had mine for the past 4 months and I usually drive around at 2 in fornt and 3 in rear. Dragg i go 3 up front and 5 in rear.

Anyways, they're great daily drivers and they do also come with a lifetime warrenty. My friend had them for almost 2 years and he blew one out...sent it in and got it replaced for free minus shipping. (he was dropped 2")

yellows are race proven by thousands of racers... yes they're worth the $100 extra, imo.

I got my Koni's for about 2 months now and love them...search here and automotive forums and most recommend Koni. Mine are trhe Neuspeed/Koni SP3 with Neuspeed Sports Springs. Can't go wrong with matched spring rate shocks.

Just my .02.
