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.
