Default Koni vs. KYB - which is better?

I'm looking at struts for my car.

Which are better? KYB or Koni?

koni = comfortable ride
tokico = best bang for the buck (suspension wise)
kyb = no comment

After reading and reading, I got KYB GR2s. I will let you know. Koni is an expensive quality shock, Billistien is a better shock, had them on my 72 bug, freakin sick. I had tokico HPs and they were not significantly different from stock...your springs will have something to do with your ride too, and you have to install them correctly (bump stop, etc.).

Koni & KYB are both good. Koni are way more expensive. It depends on your finances. Me personally I'm going w/ KYB's & Eibach springs on my Si & GSR. Good luck w/ your decision..

Get what you can afford but on my Accord and Integra they ride on Koni yellows. I wanted to do it right the first and only time. You cant go wrong with either one, good luck with your decision.
