agx vs illuminas is like saying:


Made in USA vs Made in Japan...

...and I don't know about you, but aside from that fact that illuminas are truly better to begin with, I'd take the illuminas over the agx just for the above reason alone. No disrespect to things made here...I just prefer things made there more because of better manufacturer craftsmanship and quality of products.

Oh, wait a sec...our Maximas were made in Japan! Wooooo Hoooo!

yea konis are better than all, and they carry lifetime like Illuminas...it just difficult to install them because u need to cut your old struts and use the shells to house the rear koni I believe.

I have illuminas and like them, but they are paired with GC's so it cancels some of it out and it rides ok but handles good.
