adjustable shocks worth the $$$?
wondering what you guys who have the agx's or illumina's on your fc think about them, do you change settings enough to justify having the adjustable shocks? is it worth an extra $100?

I have to say that I really like the Illuminas. Coupled with a good set of springs and you're ready to go!

If u do any autocrossing or road racing then yes it would be a good idea to have the adjustables. Nice to be able to dampen for track and go back for street.

my agx are worth every penny I think. Actually I thought they were inexpensive when I checked prices of other brands. Also replace the springs at the same time.

Coil overs would be the only option for me.

Someone told me I'd be fine with just doing the springs on my civic back in the day and the shocks just totally went out.
