Default budget shocks - Koni Red (specials) vs. Tokiko HP

I didn't see any shock dynos for either of these shocks so I'm posting a thread. I'm looking to replace the shocks on my daily driver (94+ integra), and don't need anything crazy, but obviously want something with more control over stock.

the car will NOT be tracked or autocrossed, but I do like to drive spiritedly through turns and on/off ramps. These will used with stock springs or mild lowering springs.

also, the illuminas are a bit more than the reds, but not sure if its worth the extra money for a DD application.

i recomend the koni reds, i have them while lowered on H&R sport springs(koni's on middle setting) and it feels like stock accept when i drive on a really shitty road. and the handling is much better(less body roll).

I would recommend the reds as well, I had great luck with them on a street car.
