Struts, Please recommend....
The current set up I have now is:
1995 EJ Civic with Eiback Pro-Kit, Bilstein Yellow Struts, and ST Sway Bars.
I need to replace my struts soon please recommend a Brand/Model.
I most use the car for every day commute, but want some more agressive handling, at the same time do not want it too bumpy.

Tokico Illumina's here (white 5 way adjustable version). Not terribly expensive, a little more than the KYB AGX's though, but I've been completely satisified.

I say go for the Koni red's. I currently have the Tokico Illumina's with Pro Kit springs - I like the ride but wish it was more firm. I will be going with Skunk2 coilovers and Koni red's - WestCoastStyle has them and his ride is unbelieveable! Corners so flat it makes me want to :barf:

it's my D in a B
koni yellows if you've got the cash, kyb agx if you don't. Illuminas are good too, but I don't think they're much better than the kyb's, and they cost a bit more.
Koni Yellows are BY FAR the best shock I've ever used, and probably the best off-the shelf shock offerred for our cars.
