Ok, what would you all recommend, tokico blues, kyb agx, or koni yellows? Comments, information, and people who have used these please chime in. I know the agx is adjustable and i like the sound of that. Also, i am not setting up suspension for drifting, auto-x, drag, etc. I just want a nice pair of shocks in that price range ($330-$500), that i can have fun with. My car is a daily but i want some stiff shocks. I have tein s-tech springs. I dont care if its bumpy either, i want to turn good. And i know some of you will say "your gonna need more than springs and shocks for a good setup", and that ok, but right now i am just looking for stiff good handling shocks. Not "comfortable ride" shocks. Thanks!

I enjoyed my KYB AGX's with eibach sportlines when I had them on my car. Springs werent stiff enough to prevent some undercarage scraping under extremely hard cornering at the track, but they were adequete for every kind of street use I can think of. I actually think I still have them lying around somewhere....

OK this is a noob question i know, but....... Lets say i order the kyb agx package, the 2 front and 2 rear. Is there anything else I need to buy or do they just bolt right in??

they bolt right in using existing parts of the damper/spring assembly. so no, you dont have to buy anything else.
