Whats up guys, coupled with neuspeed race springs which would you go with and why?

Tokico Illumina or KYB AGX?

Please choose and tell why. input from owners of said shocks would be lovely . Thanks!

 

KYB just because I hear Tokicos blow up easy.

 

KYB AGXs arent that great if you plan to have a drop lower than 1.75". anything more than that and the warrenty is gone.

 

i don't like what you sayin will.

 

I've been having Tokicos for a long time. And I love them. The blues = sux, but Illuminas is wonderful. I had GC + Illuminas for like 1.5 yr then swaped to Full Tokico Coilover where the shocks is the same as Illuminas, may be a little bit better since it's mad for full coilover. It's been almost a yr now and they do wonderfully well.

The reason I swapped was because the mech who first install my GC + Tok combo screwed up.

 

go with the Tokico Illumina. The Illuminas can handle the Neuspeed drop better than the AGX's.

 

neuspeed race springs are pretty harsh springs for the street (me and nearly everyone of my friends had them at one point or another).

anyway, either choice won't be ideal in the long run. even my fckin GABs with the shortened rods started getting soft, after 30k miles with race springs.

 

Really?
I hear the exact oppoiste. You get what you pay for, There is a reason he AGX's are so cheap.

 

I've been running on these AGXs with a drop much lower than 1.75". They've been doing their job well and haven't had any problems that would make me return them for warranty work.

 

There's no set amount of lowering that will mess up shocks. It has to do with how stiff the springs are and also how low they make the car (i.e. how much suspension travel they eat up). The Neuspeed Race springs not only lower the car a ton but they are also very stiff, stiffer than the springs you get with GC coilovers. Personally I would get something else. H&R Sport lower the car plenty and handle just fine with either AGX or Illumina.
