Default Strut choices?

Its going to be
tokico illumina
vs.
koni adj.
vs.
kyb agx
all three are adjustable, and i am more than likely going to wrap them in skunk2 lowering springs. If anyone has used these brands let me know what you think about them. I am setting it up for street/and alittle track time.

I am deciding between these or full skunk2 coilovers.

no need to make multiple threads. i would go with the koni yellows out of the 3. i had the illuminas, didnt like it, too soft even at 5stiffness. i rode in my friends crx with agxs, really soft and kyb doesnt guarantee if ur car is lowered more then 1.2in and they blow easier over time. the koni yellows r hands down the best out of the 3 with a adjustment of 600 degrees of rotation either direction for full stiffness or full soft and everything else in between. i had em for 3 years til i swap em out for the ksports coilovers. they were great shocks and durability on em is superb.

I am riding on Koni Yellows. If you have the extra money, you won't regret spending it on a great set of shocks. They offer more adjustability and will handle the spring rates a lot better than the other two mentioned.
