Which damper should I go with?

I'm in dire need of suspension so I'm looking in to purchasing new dampers and springs. I know of the main brands: Koni, Tokico and KYB. Which have you gone with and what's your review for it. What do you all recommend? Also, what do you recommend for springs? I don't want coilovers...

I too would like to find something for that similar application. I have a 93 touring that has stock wheels. I also have JDM backseats that I take my kids for rides every now and then. Any help?

From my understanding of the Koni Yellow, KYB AGX, and Tokico Illuminus, the Yellows are the best of the 3. KYB AGX in second, and Illuminus last. Nothing wrong with the Illuminus just last on the list of the 3. The AGX have more adjustability than the Tokico also. I personally went from stock to KYB AGX and have no complaints. But I have nothing to compare them to but stock so that's not saying much.

And I went with Tanabe GF210 springs. Racing Beat didn't have stiff enough spring rates or lower the car enough, same with Eibach. RSR springs are the closest to coilover stiffness from what I hear and they have a real low drop, but they are hard to find...
