Default Illuminas vs. AGX's

Any opinions or reasons as to which one i should get? I plan on pairing them up with Ground-Control Coilovers. What about the warranty?

I hear bad things about AGX's, get tokico's.

Edit: They warranty up to 1 without a problem they told me, after that I dunno what they do.

AGX's are a very good shock. i currently have them on my 98 integra with H&R sport springs. a friend of mine has a 99 integra with the same springs but the Illumina shocks.
IMO the illuminas are a better/stiffer shock.

Nope, warrantied for life up to 1.5 inches. Dollar for dollar, the AGX's are a way better value. Tokico's are 50 bucks less than the Koni Yellows and that's a no brainer.

Oh sorry, 1 shock replacement. Which means if 1 goes bad, they will replace it without any BS. Well my situation was unique for this situation I guess. When I was doing my install the threads on the top of the shock shaft snapped off while I was tightening the nut, I called them and they said no problem and told me to call who I bought it from and tell them it was OK'd, they then called tokico and confirmed and I got my shock. But the lady I talked to did say "we usually replace 1 on warranty, anything after that will need to be inspected by a tech at their facilities to verify if its warranty worthy"
