I just purchased a set of KYB AGX shocks from JDM Ninja as well as Ground Control Coilovers.

Ive heard pretty much nothing but good stuff about these so far. Cant wait to put them on the car

Actually H&Rs are not soft at all they are actually one of the stiffest proggresive springs in the market. You can go even stiffer with H&R race springs. And you should go with KYB AGX less expesive and about equal in performance I got my set for $300 even new while the Illuminas are$50-75 more. If you want better performance then ether KYB or Tokiko go with Konis.
