The only shocks I would ever spend my money on would be Koni or Bilstein. Koni is the only one with adjustable offerings.

Tokico is a gimmicky brand. Not horrible, but not great. Their only product that's anywhere near "performance oriented" is their Illumina line... and those are as expensive as Konis.

I've had experience with Tokico Illuminas, and my god I loved those things! Very smooth, not bouncy. I had them paired up with Ground Control coilovers as well.

these sound great, but at $125 a pop, that's a little bit too far out of my budget

im kind of in the need for shocks really soon
and i dont have that kind of money
my budget is somewhere around $200 to $250
i think the koni str.t's are somewhere around that price

Koni's or nothing.

[HappyGilmore]

As stated above koni yellows are deffinate worth it. That's what I ride on and I love the way that they ride. Deff worth the money

Ive used both koni and tokico and koni is the better shock for sure. Ive always like tokicos as well though but they never seem to last that long. ive had 1 set of koni yellows and they lasted forever. i used them for over a year and ended up selling them and he still has them on his car to this day.

[jerry18849]

i guess koni is definitely the more popular choice around here
alright well thanks to everyone that helped out
i think im gonna try to get some this weekend

the str.t:

The STR.T is like the Koni Yellow on full soft. I spend 90% of my time in my CB driving on full soft anyway, as will most sane people. If you don't need adjustable shocks for performance driving (I do use mine at the track...) then the STR.T are absolutely fine for a modified daily driver.

i had tokiko blues...and they suck! bouncy ride didnt last quite long about a yr the most,when i replaced the shocks to skunks, there was no need for a spring compressor due to the fact that the shocks didnt have any fluid!thank god they came with the car and i didnt spend money on those...
