im running the kyb's and i love them. i finally got to drive my car with them and the easy external adjustment is awesome. With them stiff as they go the ride is rather teeth jarring but when you soften them up is quite a nice ride. Coupled with the racing beat springs body roll is very low. i say go for the kyb's but thats just because i have them.

I have tokico illuminas with tanabe springs (1.5) and I am very happy with the combination.

Thumbs up

I also forgot to add that i wil be using the tein lowering springs but so far im leaning towards using the kyb agx shocks i've heard that the tokico illumina's tend to leak . also i will be using the tanabe sway bars. well let me know what you guys think of the setup. thanks
