Default Shocks

I think im getting a pretty good deal from my friend on a setup:

FYI, this order is for 2 civics as far as springs and shocks.

(2) KYB GR-2 shocks
(2) 2 Sprint springs w/ 1.5 by 1.5 or 2 by 2
(1) Full camber kit (dont know the brand though ;O )

SHIPPED FOR 550

or i could go

(2) Tokico Illuminas for 100 more so (650 shipped)

Do you guys think I will really benefit from Illuminas instead of the KYB's? I have used primarily blues so I dont know much about the Illuminas.

Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

I would go with the KYB-AGX's, they are adjustable and not that costly. :thumbup:

I'd stay away from these.

Well the Gr2s wont handle more than a 1.5 drop. If its only 100 mmore get teh illuminas they are like a billion times better than the gr2s.

I think the tokico illumina option would be much better. People like the KYB AGX, but the GR-2 is a pretty low-budget option, I haven't heard many good things about them.

I used to autocross on illuminas and they had really nice damping and decent adjustability. IMO, illuminas are second only to koni yellows:thumbup:
