Need opinions on these shocks
Sorry if this post isn't proper but knowing that you guys tend to know your suspension setups pretty well I just wanted to get your opinions.
I currently have skunkworks coilovers with 400f/500r.
I planning on buying shocks very soon...for these prices what do you guys think I should go with...in terms of dampening for my spring rates, reliability, cost, etc.
I can pick up these shocks for these prices:
-tokico blues - 250.00
-tokico illuminas - 399.00
-Kyb Gr-2s - 200.00
-Kyb AGXs - 440.00
-Koni Reds - 320.00
-Koni Yellows - 525.00
Thanks for your opinions.

Re: Need opinions on these shocks ([HrZn]4life)
what do you use the car for?
If just daily driving, the AGX's will be fine... if you want to autocross or do HPDE evnets, i'd go with the Konis since they're rebuildable/revalvable/etc.
If it were me, i'd ditch the sleeves and buy a Zeal/JIC/etc setup.
Edit: ground-control and nopi sell the KYB AGX's for $85/ea.

Re: Need opinions on these shocks (.RJ)
My car will be used for drag and autocross, along with being a daily driver. What do you guys think about illuminas vs. AGXs.
If the situation were 340 for AGXs and 399 for illuminas...what would you guys choose. Thanks for your input. Much appreciated.
