kyb ... They are 4 way adjustable ! I have them on both my crx's !
They feel great amd I have them on setting 4 (stiffest)

Dont know about Tokico.

Koni yellows are the best.

the illumina's are alright, 5-way adjustable. they are more expensive than the AGX's.

Ppl either cheap out and get KYB AGX, or they bling all the way and get Koni... there is not much room for the middle-ground Illumina, but they are better than KYB, not as good as Koni.

Exactly...AGX>ILLUMINA>KONI YELLOW seems to be the order of quality/priceing

Just don't get me wrong, when applied correclty, the KYB AGX is an excellent shock... key is APPLIED CORRECLTY!!! I do think Jugglez uses KYB AGX on Eibach Pro Kit which is an ideal combo. It all depends on what your needs may be.

Remember... it makes no sense to buy something like GAB or Bilstein if you never use them to their potential... for that reason KYBs do have a very good position in the market, and they fill the need for a performance shock on a daily driven car for the person who's got bills to pay.
