Unless you are into your 2nd or 3rd year of autocross, and are very serious about it, I'd go with the blues.

The Illuminas are nice, but for the small improvement in autocross that they can provide you are much better off spending your money on tires.

Then I would recommend the Illuminas. They will give you the flexibility you will need to go from track to street...

Could it be the placebo effect? I'm still driving all my GSLs on their original shocks and struts, feels pretty good to me.

Racing Beat has worked well for me. But they are all I've tried too. I'd see what Billy has available through his site (respeed) first, because I know if it's crap he won't carry it...
