They're just an OEM equivilent replacement, like KYB GR2 or whatever they're called. Illuminas and AGX are the performance adjustable models.

That may be true but what happens when you buy a spring or a strut/shock that isnt adjustible and you dont like the ride. Then your screwed and have to try to sell it for another one.

With adjustible shocks you could have the same setting as the non adjustibles and if you dont like it you could adjust it
