Anyone ever bought these....?
I dropped my 92 hatch on Tenzo coilovers and I am replacing the stock struts with some tokico illuminas. I wanted to know what type of shock they are from people who have had good or bad experiences. I understand they are a 5 way adjustable ride strut, and seem to be rated fairly well. Give me your .02$.

I have them on my '98 EX with progress group springs. I'm happy with them. I just set them to setting 3 and never adjusted them yet. Ride is very good, and most of the people who drive it say it's very comfortable compared to their lowered cars. With coilovers, your going to have a rougher ride but I don't think you'll be disappointed. No suprises on installation for me but I didn't have a collar to install (for your coilovers). Just remember to not to let your buddy pop in the adjusting tool in the top before you tighten down the top hat (you just have to remove it, but it's kind of a pain).

i used to autox on those... pretty decent shocks, never gave me any trouble. The adjustment isn't quite as good as the Konis (neither is overall damping), but theyre a good shock for the price.

I have illumina's and like them very much. I usually have them set on the loosest setting (fiance doesn't like the stiff ride), but when she isn't around I set them stiffer. They are very easy to adjust. I reccomend them, but I would go with the koni yellows if you have the money.

how are the kyb agx shocks are they as good or better then the illuminas. Im assuming the koni yellows are some of the best out based on there price compared to the others. Is it really worth the extra money or will i be fine with kyb agx shocks?
