They're both really good. I like Koni (not Konig) for their warranty and great customer service.

Ok I think Koni yellows are a bit out of my price range I can get a set for $560 + shipping
the Illuminas I can get for $400 + shipping but what about the KYB AGX they have the set for $320 w/ shipping.
What do you think, I really want the Koni but can afford it right know. Any imput on KYBs

If you know you want them, then save up for them. If you're sure that they are the better option, don't skimp out and settle.

of course there is nothing wrong with them...but in the end wouldnt you want a higher end product (not saying the illuminas are bad) that has great customer service and the shock can be serviced later on down the road...but its all up to you...

Well I just got off of the phone with Tokico's CS. They were really nice. I just got the dials on top because I broke one awhile back. I also got the 'keychain setting adjuster', and some stickers for my folder, that I put stickers on. they did all this for free, shipping and everything. So Tokico also has great CS. To me, I think it just comes down to personal preference, or you need the ride hide hieght adjustability with the Konis. I love my Illuminas.
