Which of these brands should I choose for shocks?

Koni Yellow

Bilstein

Tokico Illumina

KYB AGX

All similarly priced; $500-700 shipped set of 4.

Will use in conjunction with King's Lows. I wish they made Super-Lows for the CD5.

personally id go with the koni yellows

Yea Koni Yellows

i'm getting a set soon myself.

Any other input before I go for the koni's? :)

bilsteins

koni yellow - where will you source it from?? if you actually want decent handling get some eibachs or neuspeed springs from the states....great with the cd chassis..

i have koni yellows and eibach sportlines. great for carving up the hills. will be taking it to the skidpan will be looking forward to seeing how it performs.

I'd pick between Koni yellow and Bilsteins. I think the Koni Yellows have an adjustable spring perch, while the Bilsteins don't?

i'd also go with either Koni or Bilstein (if basic coilover)

but you need good set of springs (rates) to match em such as the eibachs already mentioned above, you need to also get the ground control spring sleeve kit if you want height adjustability which also come with eibach springs....


mind asking where your getting em from? theres an online shop i get my sussy from that sells all 4 you mentioned.. maybe cheaper considering the current US$ exchange rates.... ended up getting my AGXs shipped from there for ~AU$440 when it was around 82c...

bilsteins do have the option for staged perches much like koni yellows. So go either one.

I actually like Tokicos, but there are Tokicos and there are Tokicos, and the illuminas are not ..erm...well, the Tokicos.

I'd go with Koni's or Bilsteins.
