help!

Ok, I'm fed up with my POS GR2's and I'm gonna be buying new shocks now. What should I get this time. I have Eibach Sportlines. And I'm NOT paying for Koni Yellow's, so I was thinking Koni Red's or Tokico Illuminas...any suggestions?

I don't wanna get blues just because I hear too many mixed opinions on them...some people like you say they're good and I also hear a lot of other people say they're not much better then GR2's and blow easy. I think I'm gonna go with the Red's.

all these shocks suck, with excepetions of Koni. My recomendation is to get some Bilsteins, Ohlins.

for the price, Koni reds can't be beat.

Bilsteins are initially soft

Ohlins are external reservoir I think... more than shlammes would know what to do with j/k
