Yeah, what springs are you using, how low, daily driving, or autoX?

KYB has only a 1 yr warranty, tokico is lifetime and the better of the two.

I prefer Tokico when it comes to shocks. I just upgraded to illuminas and i love the adjustability.

KYB gr-2 = tokico blues
KYB AGX = Tokico Illumina
As long as you match the shocks with a good spring rate and dont dump the car both Brands of shocks/struts are great..
Thats what I think .But I would get the one with the better warranty..

<FONT COLOR="blue">Recently put in Tokico adjustables... definitely worth the time/effort/money involved...

BTW... if you buy Tokicos... in order to take advantage of the lifetime warranty, be sure to keep your boxes!</FONT>

I have the KYB-AGX shocks in my car and I love them so much! I got the whole set on ebay for $304 with shipping. I would highly recommend them!
