I'm trying to decide which ones to get the Koni Yellow's or the Tokico Illumina's. What you do youys thing. and if anyone has either of them on their, lemme know how they are.
thx

 

Get KYB AGX's, cheaper than the Konis (performs just as well) and better performing than the Tokico.

 

kyb gets my vote. dont go crazy 12 foot drop and ish tho.

 

Get the Konis!!!! I have them and they perform well with my neuspeed race.

 

kyb agx ...i've heard nothing but good about these shocks!...

 

I have the Illuminas and have absolutely no complaints about their performance. The added adjustability is nice, too.

 

i was thinking about putting some skunk2's on them or maybe ground control. opinions?

now i have shitty *** matrix i HATE them oh so much, that was the biggers waste of money i have ever spent. living in valdosta we have VERY LIMITED supply of things

 

go with skunk2's over GC.. once you find a price email me.. give a chance to match or beat it..

 

ok sounds good. ill get back at you in a few weeks with the LOWEST price i can find ok?

 

you wanna match or beat on some H&R's??? oO? please?

 

Get Konis, Tokico suck!!!!!!!! Trust me man from experince.

 

Tein

 

Koni over Tokico hands down. The KYB AGX is a good budget shock if you're on a budget.

 

wait was tien in the origional question. umm no. man im just kidding. i was looking at tien, and i wanted them, but they dont make the ones that i want for an accord. the computer adj. ones. only for civics. grrr. good idea though

 

I'd like to see some backup for statements like this. WHY do you think Tokicos suck?

 

They kept getting out of place in any little hole the car got into, this happened at least twice a month!! And they were professionally installed.

 

It depends on what you are buying them for. If you are buying them for roadracing then Koni Yellows get the vote hands down. KYB AGX"s are good shocks for a budget, but to say they are equal, and perform as well. BS.

Also, I would go with Ground Controls over Skunk2. GC's offer custom spring rates, Skunks do not. Ground Controls also use Eibach springs, and are supposed to offer a more pleasant ride, without sacrificing handling. Just about everyone I have heard with Skunk2 coilovers claim they have a rough ride.

Just some stuff to think about.

 

KONI <------ the best money can buy. you pay for quality. i love mine, perform very well. one of the best decisions ive ever made. i was just like everyone else, i didnt want to spend 500 on struts... im very happy i did.

most people say skunk2's have a harsh ride because off the shelf the rates are like 500lbs... all of the struts listed arent made to handle spring rates up that high, you will blow them eventually. they say the highest you should go on the KONI's is 600lb but you will comprimise the lifetime of the strut.

couldn't have said it any better

 

which has less bounce?

 

koni's are sitffer than teh kyb, i love my koni yellow's with neuspeed sports(these springs are too soft for serious roadracing/auto-x, but they're perfect for a daily driven car like mine).

 

I know they weren't in the question but I love mine.

Yeah I wish I could have gotten the auto adjust ones.

 

I've got auto-adjusting Bilsteins so I'm cooler than all you ******.

 

Never had that problem at all... how strange. Perhaps having them professionally installed was the error. I put mine on myself and they've yet to give me any problems at all.

 

Yellows. Yellows are a racing shock, so they are going to be very stiff.
