I will personally go with the KYB AGX ( I have Maxspeed ), but apparently the illuminas are suppose to be good, but since there is no history or whatsoever on the illuminas my choice is KYB AGX all the way, if money would not be factor that would be JIC.


Merry christmas to all.

I'm shure they will perform better than the stock one.

Cheers

In the spring when I finish my handling modifications, I will be getting myself a set of Teins and a set of KYB GR-2's. This is supposed to be the best combination for looks and quality. I know a few people with the Teins and they love the ride quality, and they say the springs are almost perfectly on level (front/rear). The GR-2's are good for the money. They are like upgraded stock struts with better handling, and less bounce.

I've added my $.02 to all of the Illumina posts. If you need a comparison, stroll over to the 4th gen forum and ask away.

Just taking a look at the poll....

Why would you vote for the GR-2 over the AGX or Illumina. Guess you would vote for Ground Controls over JIC's too?!
