Best shock for 2000 AV6 accord

[Luckyboy]

I'm trying to decide between these three shocks: Tokico Illuminas, Bilstein Sports, & Koni Yellows. I'm planning on installing them with H&R Sport springs. I'm not taking the car to the track and not autocrossing. I just want the best shock for aggressive street use. All opinions would be helpful

Koni Yellows are excellent shocks, but expensive. If you're not racing the car, I'd say they're overkill.

The Illuminas might be a better value, but you're still paying extra for the adjustability. For street use, I'd be inclined to save a few bucks and go with the Tokico blues (non-adjustable). I've got the blues paired with H&R OE Sports on my '99 Civic, and the combination works really well together (not sure how they'd work with H&R Sports on the Accord though).

However, if cost isn't an issue and you've got your heart set on adjustable shocks, then I'd say go for the Konis.

Sorry, don't really know anything about the Bilsteins.

Ditto on the Koni's. We don't carry Tokico's or Bilsteins so I don't have a lot of information on them.

Based on what our customers have said about them to Tokico's and Bilsteins either one should should be fine. Most of the people I have spoken to who've been using Tokico's have been using Illumina's though.
