Ive heard nothing bad about the KYB AGX. But, I've never ran them. Just remember you get what you pay for. Dont cheap out on suspension.

I'm running the Tokico blues with ground controls on my del sol and it's a nice ride. I've had them on my car for at least 6months now. There great.

I've had Tokico Illuminas on my car for 10 years. They work fine.

I run Ground Control coilovers and Tokico Illumina shocks. Tokico products are far from garbage. I've never used their shocks, nor had any friends that run any of their products. But from my experiance with Tokico shocks, I've had nothing but good times with them.

a friend of mine had some tokico blues with nuespeed race springs on his eg. probaby the nicest riding lowerd car ive ever rode in. esp for the drop. most say tokico blues are pretty much stock replacements which is pretty much the case.but i dont have anything bad to say about them..
