Does anybody have experience with both? Shox.com has Bilsteins for $469 for all four, and the Tokicos for $559 for all four. Currently I have frpp "b" springs with all poly isolators and worn-out kyb's that ride like a solid rock. I want a controlled, semi-comfortable ride for a daily driver. Will the Bilsteins do it or do I need the tokicos so I can dial in the softest setting?

Thanks!

I have illuminas, that plastic dial in cap is cheap cheap cheap, mine snapped off, that's how flimsy they are. Anyway, I've only heard good things about Bilsteins, never tried them. Illumina's are nice if you think you're going to do alot of adjusting. I dont think I ever have.
