i don't know too many people that have the tokico ilumina .. i think the ilumina has more settings than the agx. but like i said no one i've seen on the forums run iluminas yet. Maybe they just came out recently and since the board has been praising agx's all the time, no one has tried the iluminas.

You should be able to still get AGXs for $360 shipped from Bottle.

So you think GR-2 are better all around than tokico blues?

I had KYB's before. It's what TRD contract out for their struts. Tokico on the other hand SUCKS, and they have quality issues.

Had Tokico in my MX-6
Had KYB (TRD) on the Celica, have Tein SS now.
Have Koni on my IS300 now.

my setup is tein s-techs w/ KYB Agx's and by the way ebay got my agx's for like 330 dollars...but anyways my buddy has a celica w/ Hotchkis springs and illuminas and his ride is way different...I do beleive I like the drop of his springs better but his struts are awful..They do not absorbs the road as well as the AGX's and the turn in of them definetly feels..wierd...just my .02 though..
