koni yellows

Who has Koni yellows? I'm planning on getting them, but i just need convincing that they are worth $300 for two fronts, when I know I can get 4 Tockico Illuminas for about $375. The struts will be going on my new REspeed coilover setup with either 250# or 300# springs. I plan on using the car for auto-x and light track use.

EDIT: If anyone has some FB spindles/ strut assemblies you are willing to sell, I'd LOVE to take them off your hands! (I don't need the brakes)

thanks!

i love the idea of running koni yellows. if only i found this site before i bought my illuminas. i want to say koni yellows are the best to get, but that would be an opinion and i have no facts to back it up except for its reputation.

I don't know of anyone that has them on their car, either.
