on the other hand people are very happy with the illumina's. the adjustablity is a nice feature. You could get the koni's and think they are too stiff whereas on the tokico's you can adjust.
Not saying you shouldn't get the koni's, but its something to consider.

I run KYB AGX adjustables.
I wouldn't go back to a non-adjustable shock/strut setup if someone gave me GOLD plated Konis.
My Eibach Pros, KYB adjustables (4way fronts, 8way rears!) and tire pressures, make my suspension REALLY tuneable!
So, I say the Tokicos are a better way to go than the Konis.
Just my $.02.

the tokico's are more popular, but i'm not saying that makes them better.

This is my thinking. Tell me right or wrong. Stuff i have picked up on that I have read.
Tokico - 5 way adjustable - Cheap and adjustable for track/street. Good price, but do not last as long.
Bilstein - Superior shock - long lasting - more money, but non-adjustable.
Koni - more money - adjustable - Harsh race only type of ride.
Strange - dont know much about them, I think they are more expensive with 16,000 adjustments
I have had Koni's on a mustang before and I loved em. Of course I am not 18 anymore and not sure about that harsh ride, with all the beat up pavement here in SoCal. I am going Bilstein myself. I loved the adjustability of my Koni's, but i never really adjusted mine all that much. I would just like to have my car dialed in on one setting. I will only see the track a few times a year.
I guess to each his own, depending on what you want to do with your car

Do you have to change your springs when you get aftermarket shocks? I already am lowered with the Bullitt suspension, and it comes with tokicos, but i would love to be able to dial in the suspension for street and strip setups. Is there a noticable difference at the track?
