Need new shocks

OK, I blew out one of my shocks and want to replace them with aftermarket ones. What do you guys think, are Koni yellows worth the money or should I go with less expensive Tokico ones?

No No No No!!!

No KYB AGX!!! I know they are mucho cheaper than the Koni's, but you are paying for what the shocks are worth.

I personally whole heartedly would avoid the KYB's like the plague, and go for the Koni's (or at least the Tokico's, but last time I checked those weren't adjustable)

But definetly, definetly, stay away from the KYB!!

uh-oh... blown shocks w/ just comptech springs on a 2003? I've only had my CT springs for about 2 weeks, how long did it take to blow your shocks? I might just switch back to stock springs if it's gonna hurt shocks that quickly...

I've had the comptech springs about 8 months, but you have to understand the the roads in Jersey absolutely SUCK. So now I hear squeaks when I go over bumps and dips and its driving me crazy. I think I will probably order the Koni's on monday. Anyone know somewhere that I can get the a little cheaper?

The Koni yellows are outstanding. I dialed them down even more for our twisty run here in Sacramento yesterday and my car has never gripped better. They were even firmer, but now i can adjust them back to run softer until our next meet.

stock shocks and comptech springs going on almost 2 years strong. Tokico has a adjustable line called illumina or something like that
