Shock/Struts

Ares · 03-09-2001, 05:34 PM

Does anyone use Tokico 5-ways or KYB's AGX shocks. I was wondering how good either are and what you think of them. I know the AGX's are a little cheaper. I just like the idea of being able to adjust them for track or street.

I have Tokicos Illuminas. The basic differences are that Tokicos can damp stiffer strings, and won't fade or wear out as fast as the KYB will, especially with track or auto-x use.

Basically you get what you pay for.

I have Tokico 5-ways on my car and am very happy with them - easy to adjust and you can tell the difference between settings. I have my fronts set on 4 for 300#/in coil-overs.
