Default whats good (shocks)setup? for crx

ok,currently i have tokico blues and h&r race springs since 97. My shocks finally blew out, so to the dumpster. I wanted some coilovers, specifically zeal,
but seeing how im putting a b18c in my car, its way over my budget.

im thinking about keeping my springs, my question whats a good shock out there to compliment or in general good shocks/ spring setup?

ive searched seems like konis and illuminas are popular
just looking for some feedback, ride quality, handling, ride hieght adjustable.
something a little better than what i had, basically the car is street(dailydriver).


any feedback/ or suggestions welcome Thanx

reds are adjustable i thought it was yellows only, when i was searching there were 2 koni yellows one with 3 slots and one with 5 slots nuespeed for adjusting the perchs, i didnt know that.

so ride is much better, more responsive than tokico?

if you aren't going lower than 2", illumina's and GC are nice. Make you you get the GC top hats for the fronts. That extra 2" travel makes the diff!

The Koni sports are a better shock then the AGX...Bilstiens are up there too..
and they are self adjusting I have a set of Bistiens and love them But it maybe time to get full coil overs..so I may be selling them.. 88si only

From everything i've heard koni's are the best, hands down..........I have a rear set (not installed) just looking for the fronts.....I also have neuspeed sport springs (not installed yet).........after the install my advice will matter more....
