Default Need help choosing shocks for my ITR

I am ready to upgrade my shocks. I cant decide between: Tokico Illumina, Koni Yellows or Bilstein Sports. Ride comfort is not really an issue for me. I am basically looking for the most agrresive shock possible. The car will be used 60% on the street and about 40% on the track.

I am also open to any suggestions and or opinions any one might have.

Thanks in advamce

Personal choice is always Koni. Check their website for what is available in the Sport "yellow" series. If still unsure, give them a call.

I'm not sure what you mean by "aggressive shock," but I assume it means something like "best." If that's the case, you don't need anywhere near the "best" shock for 60% street and 40% track (and by track, I'll assume you don't mean autocross or drag). From your list, I agree with jc836 and would (and did) buy the Koni yellows. If you find that they aren't "aggressive" enough, they are the easiest to revalve from those on your list.

I ran Koni Yellows with stock springson my Hype and was very pleased with them for street and autoX use. FWIW, I went with Koni's for my SM hatchback too...

edit:
I've got a set of ITR Koni Yellows that I' not using anymore if you're interested... just shoot me an IM.
