Might as well get Tokico or Koni struts. Both of them I think are good but you probably want to hear opinions from others that have them.

Konis are great, especially if you get the Sport ("yellow") struts. It is adjustable, and they have the same model number for the 4th and 5th gens in the rear.

Ballpark would be roughly $250/set of 2. I bought a set of 4 for $519 w/ shipping. Check http://www.shox.com for a price quote.

I'm pretty much down to Koni (138.60 each), Tokico non-adj. (74.95 each) and Tokico Illuminas (adj??) (114.95 each). Any opinions?

Thanks

Will the Koni Yellows fit a 5th gen Type SH? Adjustable shocks would help me out a lot on the track, and they wouldn't bump me into a higher class.

Yes they will fit as long as you have aftermarket springs as well. That is what I have on my SH and they are awesome.
