Default Koni, tokico or AGX?

Hi,

i am looking for doing a new suspension setup for my 01 prelude (between skunk2 and groundcontrol). i currently have tokico HP with skunk2 coilover but it is way too stiff for my daily drive. i was wondering between KONI yellow, Tokico illumina and AGX which will perform better with skunk2 and groundcontrol coilover?

For the skunk2 coilover. the shorter springs go to the front or back because i lost my spring rate mark on mine

$276 for a set of brand new AGX on ebay. $478 for a set of brand new KONI yellow. is it a good deal?

thanks

All I have to say, is after years of experience in this money-wasting past time, you definatly get what you pay for.

True that! I went through 2 sets of Tokico HPs since i first bought my car, trying to save a little money. Well i never could get the ride i was looking for till i got Koni Yellows. Looking back, i should have just got the good stuff the first time around.

I enjoyed my tokicko illuminas....
I have no complaints about them.

then I got konis.

I don't complain about the illuminas, but I prefer the konis
