Whats up guys, I did a search on this and only found 1 result from back in 2003. I own a 90 civic 4dr and I plan on running Skunk2 coilovers. So which set of shocks would work better for my setup, the kyb agx's or the tokico illuminas? any help will be greatly appreciated, thank-you

 

they are both good struts I havent personally had the illuminas bu some of my buddys do and they are nice but I am very partial to agx I have had them on evry car I have had in fact I had the same struts for six years before they started to go bad

 

Really? wow, they lasted that long on your daily driver???

 

I had the agx's and illuminas on my si. I had the agx's first, they were too soft for me, I sold them for the illuminas, the illuminas fit the bill for me, but they were not a stock ride over bumps, but it was definitely firmer.

 

thanks alot bro, anyone else?

 

Im going on 8 years with a set of illuminas here. Keeping them off the bumpstops is key to making them last long. I really like them for the price as long as you don't want 500lb+ springs.

 

Thanks a lot! Keep em comming

 

I have AGX's. Love em. Worth every dollar. AGX's with H&R sport springs and other suspension mods.

 

another vote for AGX.

 

I have illuminas on my 90 4dr and love them.

 

Look at a shock dyno.

 

Personally with no disrespect to Tokicko owners. I think all tokicko struts are garbage, I think I busted a whole bunch of those struts over the years. I use Koni Yellows. Out of all the adjustable struts that i've ever used, they are the best. AGX's are good too.

 

I have AGX on my 89 Sedan and i really love them as everybody says..
also i love the adjustable dampening for ride comfort. Aloha

 

im running agx's on my civic. its a good ride imo.

 

Looks like I'll be going with the AGX's lol anyone else?

 

And that is why I run Illuminas.

 

I'm not trying to sound like a total noob here but whats a shock dyno?

 

how much would skunk2 coilovers and all 4 struts cost?

 

The Illuminas are stiffer, and they have a lifetime warranty...not sure about the AGX's. I've used both and I prefer the Illuminas.

 

Well according to eGay I can get the setup I want, skunk2 coilovers with AGX shocks for around $620 or I can get the skunk2 coils with the tokico illuminas for around $680

 

why dont you just get skunk2 pro-s coilovers thats what i have 650 new rides great

 

I wanted adjustables and I didn't think the skunk2 pros shocks were adjustable, I could be wrong though...
