From those two from what I hear, go for the tokicos. I think there's still a group buy for the eibach tokico combo at 240sx.org

However, I'm shakin in my boots waiting for the kyb agx's to come out for my s14.

it will depend on what you're looking to achieve. I have KYB's on my Z, Maxima, and the wife's Galant. I really like them, the combine a good mix of performance and comfort driving. The tokico's are the OEM shock for Nissan, but the aftermarket ones will be stiff, too stiff for the wife's car or my maxima. I may eventually do the adjustable tokico's on my 300ZX when I'm redoing the front steering rack.

You cannot go wrong with either brand, but if you still want a little more plush ride do KYB or the stock equivalent tokico. The Illumina's are a little stiffer and the adjustables will knock your fillings out.
