I got illuminas for 50 bucks more then a set of AGXs I consider that to similar in price.... I do agree with the perforamnce aspect though Illuminas over AGX's any day

those who say illumina's for performance

can you back it up with any tests or is this just opinion?

I have been reading those who have actually tried both in an agresive driving enviroment that they both work well, and most would pick the agx since they are generally lower price..

my autocrossing... (hey real life is better then the lab in my opinion)

I've driven cars with AGX shocks and either the owner didn't know how to set them right (a possibility) or they had to be at full stiff all around to offer any sort of improvement over stock... as for Illuminas I use. I find they don't need to be full stiff to give a performance feel above stock. if I had the money yes I would buy AGX shocks and run both back to back to see the performance difference.

anyways Illuminas also offer a life time warrenty and in both cases there is paper work to send it... I home this helps...

also the number of autocrossers I 've seen sporting Illuminas because other low price performance shocks just didn't cut it are many. I dunno if any of this helps in your decision but you have one vote here for Illuminas... next year however I'll be on Koni's and thats a whole different ball game.

Man I have Illuminas, sometimes the ride seems a bit bouncy though. and the ***** to adjust the shocks I lost, so now I can't even check or change the setting that I am at now! In either case I am still satisfied with them. Just that you can feel every small bump in the road.
