Tokico Illumina or KYB AGX

I am currently using KYB AGX and I am happy with it. I am thinking to change it with Tokico Illumina. Is there any good for Tokico Illumina ? What is difference between those? Better performance and ride ?

Llluminas will ride very different then AGX's.
They'll make your car ride much smoother.

I believe shox.com has a really good price for them...or was it the rears. If my memory serves me right, the rears are less than $90 each.

yeah..the fronts are VERY expensive and the rears are VERY cheap
weird eh? but the fronts are more important and give you the smooth ride.

what about illuminas up front and agx in the rear? I believe Tom (njmaxseltd) loves riding around in this set up, no?

that would be a good setup...however illumina's all around would probably be even better and cheaper (since the rear illumina's are pretty cheap)

i'd like to try agx fronts and illumina rears...just so its a bit cheaper...haha

I wonder how Illumina's would ride with Eibachs? I know that they ride nice with H&R's but i bet they would work nice with them too.

I just brought my Illum's down to 2/3 and this thing glides down the road like you would never known it had suspension work...but if you knew how maxima rode on OEM shocks..I would say it glides smoother than OEM. I also jacked em up to 5/5 which is the max, and they love to grip the road..but if you are looking for hardcore performance AGX's are what you would look into.

Both have their advantages. It depends in what you are looking for.
