tokico blues are ok....same with gr2's. Agx's and Koni Yellows are good if since your going that route.

GR2s suck bad.

Yellows, AGX, Illumina.

But hold out for the Yellows.

Search on honda-tech, alot of people have had trouble with the tokico blues.

Get the koni yellows. I have those with GC coilovers and i love the ride, better than stock and handles very well. They are more streetable than Tein SS's, which i had on a EG hatch. Bone jarring!!
You will find almost everyone who has them love them!

I rode on ground controls with tockiko 5way agjustables(white) very nice ride great handling not real bouncy more of a stiff ride when you have the settings at 1 feels more like stock when set at 5 you can turn the wheel with one finger and the car defiantly goes. I usually rode on 3 setting all the way around for daily driving. I haven't tried any other shocks other then stock but I am impressed with these shocks and the prices are good to. Hope this helps.

stop fucking around and get the yellows.

I had them on my last car (Spec V), shortned them diy style and there still working great some 3 years later with GC's with aggressive spring rates, and the car is pretty low.

Now I have them on my 350z with RS-R Ti springs and love the shit out of them. Personally I wouldnt get any other strut/shock thats currently on the market. They perform as well as much more expensive JDM coilover set-ups, excepet for one, Zeals.

There's nothing particularly special abuot Zeals. Yellows have a higher range of adjustability than Zeals and perform more consistently on a shock dyno. And Zeals are even steel-bodied, so they pretty much give up the ONE benefit most "JDM" setups have over Yellows: weight.

For my money, JRZ, Ohlins, Aragosta and Moton are the only companies that put out a better performing shock than Koni.

KYB AGX.... They are fine for what you most likely need for a daily driver and street/ track use. They are cost effective too!
