I need opinions on shox to go w/ skunk2 coils
Aight...so here is the problem. I am riding on skunk2 coils w/ KYB AGX's shox. 1 finger gap in back, 2 in front. The damn car bounces all over god's creation. I'm tired of this shit...so I am buying new shox. Now then, I have always heard that koni yellows are the absolute best. They are rather pricey, but I am willing to spend the $$ if necessary. Now then, the real question. Would I be just as well off if I bought some Tokico Illiminas or some Bilstein shox?? I expect there to be some bumps and stuff even if I got yellows, I just don't want it to be all bouncy like it is now. Another option....would it be better off to get rid of the coils, and get some springs and some good shox?? I am willing to do what it takes to get rid of the bouncing, I just need to know which direction to go. Any help would be appreciated.

you have to go konis yellows.
anyways this is a fine example why sleeve coilovers are a waste of money. skunk 2s+ Koni yellows=Tein SS coilover price range.

Well, I didn't decide to put the skunks on w/ the AGX's, they were on the car when I got it. I think I am going to get some sprint springs, and Illuminas and call it a day. Thanks for all the advice.

i would like to how a rear sway and some azenis would fair compared to your car. i would guess that on a track you would have an advatage, but possibly on a bumpy road his car would be easier to control.

I dont mind giving up a little comfort for a lot of performance either. It is a little bouncy, especially when i have no gas, but its not like i cant drink my coffee because of it. On a bumpy road, its a different story, and unfortunately there are quite a few of those around boston.
