Default Need Shock/Strut Opinions

What kind of shocks do you guys have? I have a 2.0" drop on my car and i'm looking for opinions on ride comfort with:
A.) KYB AGX
B.) Koni Sports
C.) Tokico Illuminas

Which would you recommend or which have you heard have a good ride on a lowered vehicle.

They'll all be a good ride. AGX and Illuminas I believe are 5 way adjustable, while the Konis are 3 way. It's up to personal preference. I'm going with illuminas simply because theyre cheaper

Not with 98-02 Accords, there aren't AGX's available.

I gathered that from your sn. It's all up to you. You really want a good piston size though thats what matters. The adjustable qualities are up to you. Warranty is also an important thing to look into

kyb's offer a great value, good dampening at a great price...the fronts are 4 way adjustable while the rears are 8 way adjustable...however, if you have the money, i'd probably get the koni's just b/c they offer a slightly stiffer range of dampening...
