Tokico vs KYB (shocks)
 
I need shocks for my CRX and i can get tokico's and kyb g-2 shocks for the exact same price. which ones do you guys recommend? are tokico's really better than kyb's?? which should i get? thanks

Just spend a lil bit more and get KYB AGX's, but if you cant afford it, id go with the tokico's, just get some good springs.

tokicos suck. We've blown many sets.

Don't skimp, spend the extra cash and get the AGXs, they are worth it.

Don't buy cheap springs either...

you get what you pay for...

I love my AGX's. I was in the same place you were when trying to buy, and everyone told me to shell out the extra for the AGX, and I was not disappointed. Got mine from Tire rack for a reasonable price with some H&R springs.

Which Tokicos are you referring to? I have Illumina's with tokico springs and the ride is almost exactly the same as my friend who has KYB AGX's and H&R sports (both adjusted the same) I bought these used and got a good deal, otherwise I was going to get AGX's and GC Coilovers.

well i got some cheap coil-overs and they ride fine. they dont really bounce alot or ride rough like most i've seen. so i should be good there. i've been using the stock shocks ever since i put em on (like over a year ago), and i think its time for new ones cuz the stockies are going out. i am on a budget right now so i dont think the AGX's will be an option. the regular tokico's vs the regular kyb g-2 shocks? which are better? ---- i always thought tokico was the way to go but i know for a fact that the kyb's are good also. i just want to know what most of you would put if it was your car/personal preference?? thanks for all your opinions

sounds like those cheap coil-overs probably have a low spring rate. either set of shocks should be fine. i would take the tokicos over the regular kyb ones if they were the same price. what's the warranty on both?
