I like Illuminas....blues are iffy on a signicant drop. Illuminas are adjustable.

Yeah tokicos are good I wouldnt go to the extreme to say that they are the best for a CRX though. like he said above go with something adjustable you will like it better in the long run. Oh and I wouldnt trust buying used shocks ever sicne you dont know what kind of life they had.

I got koni yellows and the get from me.
Easy to adjust and can also adjust the height using the adjustable perch. They can be very stiff.

Koni yellows, oh yeah are you running somekind of coilover with these shocks like GC or HR springs? And is this just for daily driving or autox or drag racing?

koni yellows are the best shocks IMO. plus they have a lifetime warranty (and the ability to be shortened and revalved for higher spring rates).

Im just using some kyb gr2's on eibach sportline springs......... alot better than my old sensatracs (lol)......... and they are pretty cheap too....... i dont need the whole adjusting deal cuz im not into autox or anything like that. they are definitely good for what i need.
