Default alternative to konis

I dont need adjustable struts. I need a good quality strut to give me a good ride and be a bit less than koni yellows. Any ideas or experience would be great and where i can acquire them would be even better.

KYB AGX gas adjustable shocks. They're pretty good. They'll cost you about $340 if you can find a deal. http://www.groupbuycenter.com

how much are the illuminas and where can i buy them. Would the ride be an improvement over the stock shocks equipped with my eibach sportlines.

I've had the KYB AGX's on my car for the last 2+ years, w/ H&R sport springs. No complaints especially with how cheap they were.
