Koni Yellows or Tokico Illuminas

In a dilemma lately, want to know your opinions on which set of struts you would go for? (Pricing on Koni's are a tad more, but i'm willing to pay)

I'm interested on you guys thoughs on reliability/durability of either brand of struts. Are there any things that you dislike about it??

Please offer your input if you can. Would really help me in deciding which to go for.

By the way, I will be pairing them with H&R Sport springs..

Thanks everyone!

Cheers...

I just put KONI's on my rear end to replace the GR2's I had previously. I think they are very good. They deliver a much more controled and also a smoother ride than the GR2's did. I had them in and out a few times to get the adjustment for rebound damping correct however . . . and they need to be fully disassembled to make that adjustment which is unfortunate. I think they offer excellent ride quality but they may not prevent body roll as well as an Illumina on a high adjustment setting.
