I need shocks for my 6 gen Accord and was not sure wheather to go with KYB AGX or Tockyo Blue or Koni. Any comments would be helpful.

 

koni yellow is the #1 shock you can buy. you can adjust the stiffness, and height level(by changing the perch level before installing the shock). they are pricey, but worth it if you want the best for your car.

if you're on a budget, bilstein HD and kyb agx are great shocks for the money.

stay away from tokico, they are horrible crap.

tokico is low/middle budget shocks.
agx is not as great as i though before, they life time warranty is void
if your car lower more than 1.5 inch. I heard that they start making noise
on heavier accord body when you lower more than 1.5 inch.

Koni is very good, about 550 for a set.
give you the flexiblility to change the setting you like it

 

I have the Neuspeed Race Springs with Neuspeed/Koni Sports (Yellows). I recommend this setup to ANYONE who is thinking about lowering their car and not getting true coilovers.

 

I have Skunk 2 Coilovers, will Koni (yellow) work. I can get the Koni, but how hard is it to match the settings on each shock. I did some research and came to know that its kinda hard matching up the settings on each shock. I am kind of leaning towards the KYB AGX, but how good are they when it comes to a dropped car.

 

I'm running Tokico Illuminas with an Eibach Pro-Kit, and I don't think I could get a better ride; a smoother ride than the factory set. I don't know who decided Tokico was "crap", but I have no complaints.

 

bump
koni yellows

give the tokico's some time and you'll see that they are crap.. i had them and got rid of them so fast.. died out on me too fast.. right now i have kyb agx and i think they suck too.. i'm bout to install GC and Koni Yellow's....

 

I love my Konis, they are just great shocks, ride is far, far better than i was expecting

 

U have KYB AGX. U said they suck. How come they suck, what don't u like about them. Koni (Yellow) will they work with SK2 coilovers?

 

not that comfortable of a ride. they died after 6months and i couldn't get them warrantied because of my drop.. there customer service people sucked. never would i recommend them anymore...

 

I've got AGX's and there are a few things that you need to make sure of if you get them. You MUST run with bumpstops, or else it's all over for the shock. They don't like to bottom out. Other than that they have been great, only needed to replace the front two since i blew them going over a speedbump which was painted black, therefore almost impossible to see at night. I definitely would recommend the AGX's to anyone.

 

Do the stock shocks come with bum stops and if not how do they cost? I mean I have an idea of what bump stops are, but how good are the KYB AGX with the bump stops. I don't want to spend like $450 and get stuck with shocks that will go out quick. After hearing from most people, I'm leaning toward KONI (yellow).
