Question Shock choice

ok! its come down to 3 kinds of shocks : KYB AGX adjustables, TOKICO Illumina Adjustable Shocks , and Koni yellow's. i cant decide on which one's to get. I'm for sure getting RSR race springs to go with the shocks. this is a hard decision since they all seem really good and they are all close in price. so, i need some feedback, which of the 3 is the best (keep in mind this is for a drift setup). if anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated . thanks in advance.

These shocks are not the same price, at least not new. The KYB's shouldn't even be in the running.

The Konis are higher quality than the Tokicos but reflect that in their price. They also don't have an adjustment system with fixed detents like the Tokicos. The Konis do give you ride height adjustability (3 dif spring perches), which might me useful at the rear.

Either of those shocks would probably work fine for you. Tokicos = lower price, fixed detent adjustment system; Konis = higher price, higher quality (lifetime warranty), adjustable ride-height, no fixed-detent adjustment system.
