tokico illuminas vs. kyb gr-2's...
 
are tokico illuminas better handling shocks than kyb gr-2's paired with eibachs???....would it be worth my money to get rid of my kyb gr-2's and the labor just to replace 'em with tokico illuminas?

It would be better to compare the AGX with the illumina. GR2's IMO are bettered compared with the Tokico blues

U cant compare apples and oranges.

Illumina is an adjustable shock and GR2's are not.

You're better off comparing the Illumina to the adjustable KYB AGX's. tokico blues are good to be compared with GR2's. and to answer your question, the Illuminas are known to be the best out of the 4 in terms of durablitlity and ride quality.

EDIT: when am i gonna learn how to spell TOKICO ?? :rolleyes:

so then compare the tokico blues and kyb gr-2's

I never recommend anything less than Illuminas, Konis or AGX (in that order) with Eibachs:

Any other shocks I guarantee will get soft on you, and you'll end up replacing them.

If I am just looking for a comfortable ride which do you recommend? I drive interstate 60 miles one way.

thanks..

I had the blues..didn't like the way they are valved. Stronger on the compression and less on the rebound. GR-2 IMO gives a more controled ride

Will the Illuminas get rid of the bounce that I have with the Tok Blues and H&Rs? I can't stand it
