Default The best Shock/Strut?? (opinions)

I am really interested on adjustable shocks, so far I like AGX's... and so far they are the most affordable, post your opinions and vote on which you consider the best shock

AGX are good for the price. They dont warrant their shocks for rides lower than 2 inches. These are the cheapest.

Tokico Illuminas are good shocks. They control both rebound and bound. Overall, they are good all around shocks. They are average in price.

Koni Sport [yellows] are excellent shocks. They feel and perform great. The only thing that bothers people is that these are only rebound adjustable for Civics. Other than that, I havent heard anything bad about them. They also can lower or higher your car another 1/2 inch either way due to their adjustable perch levels. If you dont mind shelling out a few more bucks, Koni's are the way to go in my opinon.


Modacar.com has the Koni Yellows for $499


I have the Koni yellows, and I dont have any complaints yet.

Ive autocrossed on Illuminas for a season, and konis for a half season on ground controls.

The konis are significantly better. definitely worth the price, but try a groupbuy or something.
