Can't decide on springs and dampers for FC 'vert

I just got my vert running for the first time a week and something ago. These 22y/o dampers and springs are toast.

Since the vert is my DD, I don't need adjustable coilovers like on my 8. Instead, I was instead thinking something simple like Tokico Illuminas or KYB AGX's with their matching springs.

How are the AGXs vs the Illuminas? Should I be looking at a different brand around my $600 price range?

They are better than Tokico Illumina but I'm sure anything will feel like magic compared to what you are used to.

I have Tokico Illumina's on mine, not really impressed.

Koni Yellows w/ Eibach springs is a good street combo.

http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/S...7&autoModClar= get AGXs while they are on sale. I did so and paid 450 instead of like 650/700.

I also have the Eibach progressive springs. I wanted this (being DD) because I wasnt as worried about the drop as I was the ride quality. I was afraid it would be a painful and rough ride. Very happy with this set up. Feels like a ride in a new car. I have started adjusting the dampening on the shocks. Very happy with this set up. It takes corners so much nicer now. Literally no body roll compared to before.

Now I need to get my suspension bushings on to make it even better.
