I am about to buy new struts for my AWD Talon. I am either getting Tokiko Illuminas or KYB AGXs. Which is the better buy for the buck? I have heard great things about both set-ups and I was just seeing what the general concensous on these products were. Thanks! :talon:
 
I just picked up some AGX's. Have heard good and bad about them. All the good things came from people who didnt lower the car. Bad seemed to be if the car was lowered 2" or more the shocks were blowing out.
 
I have the Illumina Shock/Spring kit and its great. Picked it up on eBay for like 495 shipped.
 
AGX's are stiff and tend to blow seals. Illumina's are only good for stockish like spring rates (from what I've read). I'm using AGX's with Ground Control coilovers and content with the ride quality.
