Default important suspension question!??? HELP

my 1993 honda prelude has skunk2 adjustable coilovers on stock shocks and after 3 months of riding like this the ride/handling is garbage. i am looking into new struts either tokico performance ones.(not illumina) or kyb agx's. CAn anyone tell me the overall difference betweeen the two. and which would give a better ride for the car?and which one is best to go with. thanks !

well me personally i think im gonna go with the AGX's with hr sport springs for my lude its a 99 by the way.
but yea i have heard that kyb does not warranty the agx's if they have lowerings springs below 1.5 inches so thats why im gettin the hr sports cuz they are like 1.4 inches of drop. plus the roads are so shitty here ivee been scraping just from having cut springs thanks to the guy who had the car before me but yea i dont know if tokico has the same sorta thing or not as far as the warranty.... hope this helps

Interesting. But if you have height adjustable sleeves, how are they going to know what height you where at when they blew. I had one replaced under warranty and I was under the no, no zone.

i have the tokico white struts on my car and i like them. i'm probably gonna change them out for tein coilovers cause i'm gonna start doin autocross but if u just want something nice for the street the tokicos are good. with the setup i have now my car can take a 75 to 80 degree turn at 60 mph. i have a little more done then just springs and struts but it still handled good with just them. heres a list of all the suspension stuff. neuspeed sport springs, tokico white struts, neuspeed front upper strut bar, ebay rear upper sturt bar, neuspeed rear sway bar, and hyper suspension urethane bushing kit.
