sup, i am about to drop my 97 dx pretty soon (as soon as snow is damn near out of the pic) and i already have a set of ground controls. my question to you is Tokico Illumina Adjustable Struts or Tokico HP Series (shocks and struts) (non adj). im not auto-X-ing its my daily driver to & from school. what do u think?

**edit**
btw my stock setup is damn dead, bostons potholes done my shocks in real nice...

 

illuminas for sure. the blues are oem replacement

 

IMO Illuminas, especially cause of the potholes. my experience with the blues have been ****. i ditched tokico altogether.

 

hmmm, thats the first i ever heard bad about tok... im staying the hell away from KYB, any other brands you would recc? i would get KONI but id need to get a special peice for the GC's...

 

i would reccomend kyb actually, agx's and koni for sure if u have the money

 

i heard alot of bad **** about KYB...not actually bad.. but that its the cheap way out...

Yeh thats bullshit. KYB AGX are awesome. Why spend another 100 extra on illuminas that are the same quality. I'm biased to KYB becuase I own them and love them and know others who own them, but don't knock them becuase of what you "heard." And what was bad about being the cheap way out, what exactly where you told?

 

had illuminas...didnt like em
got koni's...much happier

I know A LOT of people that run AGX's and love them just as much as I love my koni's

I am another who loves his AGX's. I am also biased as well and I recommend them to anyone seeking advice. They are a great strut and WILL hold up to crappy roads.

 

WTGDF are you talkin about?! Tokico's are junk and I've heard nothing but uphappy customers when it comes to their product. AGX's are definitely the way to go if you want a good setup for a great price. Fully and easily adjustable for $300 shipped. Can't beat it

 

ya i always love AGX, Can't complain with the price,quality and adjustability.. currently runing H&R Race Spring and AGX's on my EM1.

 

thanx guys imma def go with that setup for my GC's jus shoppin around for a good deal rite now... anyone know any good deals running rite now?

 

i'll give a second thumbs up for the KYB....

i put AGX's on my car two weeks ago and it rides great. I had Koni Yellows on my MINI before that and they rode awesome, but the KYB's are not far behind.

honestly, if you *won't* be auto-x'ing, don't waste the extra money. the KYB's ride fine.
