Which is better KYB AGX shocks or Tokico Illuminas shocks?????? I'm Wondering what everyone thinks is better, I have heard no arguements against one another and I want to know what others feel before I purchase either of these.

Thanks for your time.

all tokico products have a lifetime gurantee unless you're not the origanal owner of the vehicle. so if that's the case, then yes, you can send them back

They're not even the same leauge. I've seen nothing but garbage from KYB. Mine were destroyed in less than 6 months.

I've had the KYB AGXs for over a year on my DB8 and they are holding up just fine. No complaints.

I have abused them a whole lot on US129's the tail of the dragon (318 turns in 11 miles). But I have never had them in an AutoX. I installed them with Eibach Pro springs.
