tokico's are nice shocks but i think that agx's are better because you can adjust the damper. i have never had springs in my life only full body coilovers. but i have been around 240's for a while. just my 2 cents

I would have to agree on the AGX v. S-Tech. Adjustability is a nice feature to have. I had a hatch on Eibach Sportline springs back in the day and it had a nice comfortable ride. Since then I went w/ the full body coils just like madcow.

I will say that with suspension, 9 times out of 10, the golden rule of spend more get more (quality wise) is definately true.

I have the tanabe springs and tokico shocks, I think its a nice combo. The AGXs would be nice for adjusting, but just didn't need them compared to the extra money for them.

I have the HP blues, just like the link.

I just don't know anything about those springs on there, so can't say if I'd trust/like them or not.
