DO NOT GET TOKICO BLUE ON LOWERED SPRINGS!!!!! i hate them so much, the rear shocks will bottom out so quick feels like it has no compression. if you are going to run them on stock springs they should be ok

I run the AGX'S on stock springs right now and I am very pleased with the ride and quality. Everyone on this board knows that the Koni's and QA1's are top of the line but I would rate the AGX's as a close 3rd place. But honestly they provide the best bang for the buck. I will be installing my Strano springs when I get home so hopefully the ride remains just as comfortable.

Just be careful with the KYBs if you are running a larger rear end! I have them now and if i hit any large bumps it hammers the bump stops. I am lowered on a prokit with a moser 12 bolt and I cant wait to get new rear shocks to replace the kybs.
The front shocks on the other hand have been impressive and feel very stable.

I wish there were more meaningful information out there between different shock types than what we have. Right now really the best shock feedback we have is from Sam Strano's opinion because he's compared many setups. Too bad there weren't other things like a central shock dyno FAQ that we could refer to. I doubt anyone has the time or money to do such an experiment. The thing is, we all know Koni's can get the job done for daily driving as well as high performance racing... so the people who have money for such experiements probably just buy konis instead
Not only that but I'm sure there are other factors that matter such as build quality. I swear some brand shock/strut pistons move better inside their housing than others. A shock that moves like butter is obviously better than one that gets stuck inside its housing. Excuse my poor shock terminology
