What kind of shocks to get ?

[tyuen]

I've had H&R Sport Springs riding on my stock shocks for over 3 years now.

It's time to get new shocks! Does anyone have any advice?

I miss my soft ride...

Thanks

Konis yellow's best ride I've ever had.

Just put the Tokico Illumina 5-ways on my Talon this summer with the H&R's. Its a great setup. I usually run on seting 4 of 5. 5 being the hardest. Worked for me so far, and would definately reccomend it to someone else. Good luck.

went with something cheap..Tokico (non adjustables).

I figure anything is better than running on my old stock shocks!

for the Tokico Illumina what would be an average price to pay for the setup?

No. Eibach Race Springs (GC coil-overs) ... 500 front, 450 rear ... these are rates that would be impossible on Tokikos, for example.

This is one of the real positives of Konis. If you upgrade the springs later, you can keep them.

I've read that Koni Yellows provide a better ride than the KYB AGX's. I have the AGX's on mine and they're harsh as hell. Luckily my Laser is pretty much 'autocross-only' so it isn't a real big deal. One other thing I do find annoying about the AGX's is the length. Too long if you want to lower your car. If I had to do it again I'd go with Koni Yellows or if I had the cash, JIC's tuned by RRE.
