Default Yellow vs Illumina vs AGX

Do the overall value of each offset the cost

Koni Yellows- $539
Tokico Illuminas - $479
KYB AGX - 359

Yellows are the best, but the min/max range of the damper adj's is apparently larger on teh AGX than the illumina....also which ones would pair up w/ GC coilovers best????

gc coilovers are an excellent match with the yellows. i have the yellows on my car and they're excellent, the phrase "riding on rails" comes to mind.

I have never heard anything really bad about AGX. Yellows are badass if you have the money but you might as well get Tein SS (by the time you get the yellows + springs it will add up to about some SS)

From my POV...

Koni- pro=excellent performance, good value if you track your car(consider revalve, rebuilt,etc)
con=pricy

AGX-Pro=entry level adjustable shock, fair price
con=doesnt work too well with accord body(weight?), not availble for 6th and 7th gen

Tokico illumina-Pro=entry level adjustable shock, cost little more than agx, alot cheaper if you buy a tokico shock/spring package

tokico HP blue Pro=cheap as hell(280 dollar), a great improve over stock shock especailly with mild drop
con=it's only 75 buck per shock, you do the math


I would do illumia over agx, that's if yellow too rich for your blood
