I'm looking to get some shocks for my new 1988 GTU so i was going to buy some TOKICO ILLUMINA but is it worth it to get these over the TOKICO HP shocks????????

 

What are you using the car for?

 

mostly day to day driving not too much of the wild stuff cuz it needs to last me a few years without a lot of problems

 

then why buy adjustable shocks?

the illumina's on their softest setting are still like iron bars compared to the HP's....if you aren't tracking the car then keep your dough in your pocket on that one

 

Shocks 101 - or at least my thoughts on them. I have blues on the 'vert and it's all I need for a DD. I have KYB AGX on the Turbo and play with the settings all the time.

Stockish replacement types - do just fine for most people and are better than the ones on there when they were new.

Adjustable replacement types - if you'll take advantage of using the settings they are a lot of fun, if not you're wasting your money.
