I currently use Koni adjustable shocks, just the sport models. However, this is the second pair that has become leaky. What is the collective experience on other makers, i.e., KYB AGX? This is for a

You mean Tokico Illuminas right? I've had them on my Z for several years now, the only problem is that they squeak constantly which drives me crazy. -Carl I have KYB Illuminas on a Mustang, and they

I had the GAB Super R shocks on my 3rd gen RX-7. They worked great and never leaked. They had a single adjustment with 8 different settings selectable by turning a dial on the shock.

Thanks for the positive feedback on the GAB's. There's a rumor that the garden-variety GAB's are the same as KYB AGX. I find that a bit hard to accept, since the price differential is close to 50%.

I think some models of shocks work better on some cars than others. The Tokico Illuminas have a reputation of premature failure on 2nd Gen RX-7's. I'm beginning to suspect suspension bottoming probl

I think that has a lot to do with it. The Civic is factory lowered, but I would guess that it coil binds or bottoms out on the suspension snubbers before the strut/shock hits bottom. Mike w/

They don't. You get what you pay for. Koni is a far more superior shock than the KYB's for autocrossing. Koni's handle the quick transitions. I don't think KYB's can handle anything. If you want to

Woo! That hurt. Sure, as in all things there's a measure of "you get what you pay for" in the world of adjustable shocks. It all depends on your needs. The decision was made for me by my college stud
