but u can't slam it on those.. they blow when u go low on them

tokico illuminas or koni if you can afford them. I got the skunk 2 shocks for $280 and I'm going to install them this weekend. Check the suspension forum for updates on these.

what are you talking about...you can slam on agx's...the illuminas and agxs are bascially perform the same...no difference...i have the agx's and i'm trucked in front and almost in the rear...its been a year or so and the ride is getting a little rougher but still rides good. O and sorry to say bro but the skunk2s are basically like the tokico blues and kyb gr-2's bro...i've read 2 reviews on them and they performed poorly...skunk2 should of made them adj...i would pick them up if they were adj...

ive never seen agx's for 150 a set, thats crazy cheap, if you can get'em for that price you better jump on it, if not, with that kind of budget tociko blues are your only choice and a good shock to boot.

and by the way tokiko blues perform the same as oem shocks and they are the worst performing struts on the market... thats prollly why they are the cheapest 2... my friend has kyb gr2's and hes on the floor and there not blown... but he said the ride is ruff. I just ordered the kyb agx's like 2 hours ago... they should be arriving early next week

yeah i know, when i said set i meant two, thats still really cheap, and tociko blues DO NOT perform like stock, if you slam your car on stock shocks they blow in like 1 month, if you slam on blues you can get a year.
