Re: what shocks would you choose? (subtleamuzement)

First off, what are you planning on using the shocks for? For every day daily driving I would say you can get away with KYB AGX's like mentioned. If you're going to be doing any kind of racing, auto-X, HPDE, I would recommend Koni Yellows. Just a better all around shock.

Here are some past threads I started a long time ago you can read through.

i saw the KYB AGX a little more pricier (like $10/shock but still $40 more per set) than the tokico illuminas on prostreetonline...whats the main difference between those two?
